<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"With the approach of the one hundredth anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, this book offers an important aid to understanding how women won the right to vote and the extensive debt we owe to those who fought for it for seventy years. Written by Carrie Chapman Catt and Nettie Rogers Shuler, two leaders of the movement, this landmark work reveals the inside story, tracing the struggle for women's suffrage from 1848 to 1922. They argue that there was not a lack of public sentiment supporting woman suffrage, rather that certain interests in the American political system controlled public sentiment and deflected information in order to delay the passage of the amendment that would give women the right to vote. They note that twenty-six other countries gave women the right to vote before the United States and offer their own insights as to why this might have been the case"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"A political combat memoir like no other, suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Catt takes us to the front lines of the Votes for Women battlefields -- in the states and in Congress -- as American women fight for the franchise. With candor and flashes of wry humor, Catt offers sharp insights into the social, political, and economic forces arrayed against her cause, revealing the strategies that finally brought the suffragists' seven-decade campaign to dramatic victory. <i>Woman Suffrage and Politics</i> is not only a fascinating firsthand account of a major civil rights struggle, but a valuable guidebook for today's political activists." -- Elaine Weiss, author of <i>The Woman's Hour</i> <p/> Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of the League of Women Voters and the International Alliance of Women, was a leader of the women's suffrage movement and a tireless campaigner for giving women the right to vote. She and suffragist Nettie Rogers Shuler reveal the inside story of the struggle from 1848 to 1922. <br> Catt and Shuler propose that rather than a lack of public support for woman suffrage, the movement was stymied by certain interests in the U.S. political system that controlled public sentiment and deflected information in order to delay the Nineteenth amendment's passage. They note that 26 other countries gave women the right to vote before the United States, and they offer their own insights as to why. <br> As 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the amendment's ratification, this landmark work forms an important aid to understanding how the battle was won and the extensive debt we owe to those who fought it.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Carrie Chapman Catt (1859-1947) was a leader of the American women's suffrage movement who campaigned for the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
