a novel

"It's 1912. After a tragic event, Helen Fox--a factory worker living in New York's tenements--attends her first suffrage meeting, quickly becoming seduced by the cause. Accepting a job offer from leader Harriot Stanton Blatch, Helen finds herself working alongside famous activists as she tries to change the world, afford the basics, and balance a disgruntled family back home when she marches to Washington, D.C. In a time when the obstacles for women--from any background--were insurmountable, Helen discovers her voice and dreams of equality in a male-dominated society."--Back cover
