Bold & Brave: Ten Heroes who Won Women the Right to Vote
by Kirsten Gillibrand


Here are the stories of ten leaders who strove to win the right to vote for American women--a journey that took more than seventy years of passionate commitment. From well-known figures, such as Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth to lesser known women such as Alice Paul and Mary Church Terrell, these are heroes who dreamed big and never gave up. 

Senator Gillibrand highlights an important and pithy lesson from each woman's life--from "dare to be different" to "fight together."

Congratulations Eric P., you are our Win it Wednesday winner!
