Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Women gained the right to vote with the Nineteenth Amendment. But this did not guarantee everybody could vote. Indigenous peoples were excluded because they were not considered US citizens. Black people faced barriers to voting, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and threats of violence. Learn about the history of women's voting rights, including how suffrage was tied to abolition, how certain groups were excluded from the Nineteenth Amendment, and what voting obstacles still exist today.Have you ever considered what's missing from history books? In Left Out of History, explore the misunderstood and underexamined past in this engaging series. Compelling photographs and primary sources help bring previously buried history to light. Read Woke(TM) Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
