The only picture book biography about the important and influential leader of the suffragist movement: Louisine Havemeyer
In February 1919, Louisine Havemeyer led 100 women to picket in front of the White House. They were suffragists, marching for women's right to vote.
Louisine had been fortunate to grow up in a middle-class family that supported women's education. As she became friends with forward-thinkers like the painter Mary Cassatt, Louisine's worldview broadened-and her voice grew louder.
Back matter includes brief bios of other suffragists: Harriot Stanton Blatch, Hattie Quinn Brown, Frederick Douglass, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Mary Church Terrell, Nina Otero-Warren, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Zitkala-sa.
