Finish the Fight!: The Brave and Revolutionary Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote

New York Times Bestseller!

In collaboration with the New York TimesFinish the Fight! reveals untold stories of diverse heroines who fought for the 19th amendment—celebrate the historic win for women’s rights and voting rights that changed the fabric of America.

Who was at the forefront of women's right to vote? 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.

Gorgeous portraits accompany biographies of such fierce but forgotten women as Yankton Dakota Sioux writer and advocate Zitkála-Šá, 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.

Finish the Fight! will fit alongside important collections that tell the full story of America's fiercest women.

For the women whose stories this was a refresher for, I found this book super informative. For the women I had never heard of, I found this book heartbreaking.

I guess what 2022 is teaching me is how incomplete my education has been and how necessary bios and books like this are. I really appreciated the diverse cast of women featured in this book and how varied their fights to voting were.
