Evette Dionne
(Juvenile Nonfiction - J 323.34 Dio)



For African American women, the fight for the right to vote was only one battle. An eye-opening book that tells the important, overlooked story of Black women as a force in the suffrage movement--when fellow suffragists did not accept them as equal partners in the struggle.
