OEI's ongoing book club returns this spring in collaboration with the UD Our Vote Project as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment. "For far too long, the history of how American women won the right to vote has been told as the tale of a few iconic leaders, all white and native-born. But Susan Ware uncovered a much broader and more diverse story waiting to be told. Why They Marched is a tribute to the many women who worked tirelessly in communities across the nation, out of the spotlight, protesting, petitioning, and insisting on their right to full citizenship."
