To me, it is Grace’s story, the niece of Charles Tiffany. She runs out into the parade and gets caught up with the women marching and immediately gets lost. She takes pictures of different women of all from walks of life. We also see inside the lives of several women and their wish to have the right to vote and equality.
The book is timely with the 100th anniversary of the passage of Amendment 19 granting women the right to vote. If you are someone interested in women’s rights or history, you will definitely enjoy reading this book.
