About this title

From the Author:

My motivation is to help girls and women (and sympathetic guys) recognize that the vote is precious and we shouldn't take it for granted.  I chose to do it by creating a unique coloring book with the hope that coloring might spur curiosity, and that reading the facts, fascinating factoids, and quotes from these amazing women would motivate the people to exercise their voices and their votes alongside their colored pencils!  As Carrie Chapman Catt wrote when the 19th Amendment finally passed, "The vote has been costly. Prize it."
