Bold & Brave: Ten Heroes Who Won Women the Right to Vote
This inspiring picture book from United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand commemorates the one-hundredth anniversary of the nineteenth amendment by sharing the stories of ten suffragists who fought for women's right to vote. Bold & Brave introduces children to strong women who raised their voices for justice and inspires young readers to raise their own voices to build our future.
Ten Suffragist Leaders Who Changed History
The journey to win voting rights for American women took more than seventy years of passionate commitment. This book features both well-known figures like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth, alongside lesser-known heroes such as Alice Paul and Mary Church Terrell. Each woman's story includes an important lesson—from "dare to be different" to "fight together"—that resonates with young readers today.
The suffragists featured include: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Jovita Idár, Alice Paul, Inez Milholland, Ida B. Wells, Lucy Burns, and Mary Church Terrell.
Award-Winning Illustrations by Maira Kalman
Renowned artist Maira Kalman brings these historical figures to life with gorgeous illustrations that complement Senator Gillibrand's narrative. Kalman, known for her work on Looking at Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Everything, creates a visual experience that makes this book one to be cherished and shared across generations.
