The perfect read for the one-hundredth anniversary of the nineteenth amendment and in advance of the upcoming presidential election, this inspiring picture book from United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand shares the stories of ten suffragists who fought for women's right to vote. Bold & Braveintroduces children to strong women who have raised their voices on behalf of justice--and inspires them to raise their own voices to build our future.
