We know a few famous names, like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what about so many others from diverse backgrounds--black, Asian, Latinx, Native American, and more--who helped lead the fight for suffrage? On the hundredth anniversary of the historic win for women's rights, it's time to celebrate the names and stories of the women whose stories have yet to be told. <p/> Gorgeous portraits accompany biographies of such fierce but forgotten women as Yankton Dakota Sioux writer and advocate Zitkála-Sá, Mary Eliza Church Terrell, who cofounded the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), and Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, who, at just sixteen years old, helped lead the biggest parade in history to promote the cause of suffrage. <p/> FINISH THE FIGHT will fit alongside important collections that tell the full story of America's fiercest women. Perfect for fans of GOOD NIGHT STORIES FOR REBEL GIRLS and BAD GIRLS THROUGHOUT HISTORY. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>★ "Timely, moving, and necessary." - <i>Kirkus </i> <p/> ★ "This informative book takes a refreshingly inclusive approach to the history of women's voting rights in the United States...it widens the spotlight, profiling leaders who have represented minorities and describing the particular challenges they have faced as they worked to promote women's suffrage." --<i>Booklist, </i>STARRED review <p/> "Lushly illustrated." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/> "This collection of remarkable women will make for a thorough primary source for middle grade research projects...
