Beskrivelse af Driving the Vote for Women
"I'd like to see any man do better than we did on this trip." - Alice BurkeIn 1916, Alice Burke and Nell Richardson embarked on a daring and unprecedented cross-country journey advocating for women's suffrage. Before the nineteenth amendment enshrined American women's right to vote in 1920, it was legal only in a few states. So trailblazing suffragists Alice and Nell loaded a Saxon automobile and embarked on a state-by-state campaign for women's voting rights. Long before the modern highway system streamlined car travel, Alice and Nell drove a grueling 10,700 miles over twenty-six weeks, traversing some of the roughest roads in America. Backed by the Saxon Motor Car Company--one of the original Detroit automakers--and fueled by their own unwavering spirits, Alice and Nell advocated for women's suffrage in every town along the way. Author Jeryl R. Schriever shares the remarkable story of the first women to ever drive across the country and back, paving the way for generations of women to follow.
