About the book...

Jasmine A. Stirling, author of A Most Clever Girl: How Jane Austen Discovered Her Voice, delivers a powerful, poetic picture book biography about suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt, perfect for fans of I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark and the Rebel Girls series. 

As a child, Carrie Chapman Catt asked a lot of questions: How many stars are in the sky? Do germs have personalities? And why can’t Mama vote? Catt’s curiosity led her to college, to a career in journalism, and finally to becoming the president of The National American Woman Suffrage Association. Catt knew the movement needed a change—and she set to work mobilizing women (and men) across the nation to dare to question a woman’s right to vote.

On August 18, 1920, Catt pinned a yellow rose to her dress and waited while lawmakers in Tennessee cast their deciding votes to ratify the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. After a seventy-year campaign, had women finally won the right to vote?  

Stirling’s suspenseful retelling of the dramatic final “yea” that changed the history of women’s rights brings the past to life for young readers.

Dare to dream.
Reach for the stars.
Follow your heart.
All easy enough to say, but to do, now that takes guts... that takes persistence... that takes drive, determination, and a never-say-die-spirit...all things Carrie Chapman Catt had in spades, and it all started with a few questions.

That's right, questions. 
She thought about things. She wondered about things. She felt things deeply, and fought for things strongly. She saw where change was needed, and went after that change. When the fight got hard, she went about it in new ways. When she was told no, she continued to pursue that yes, until one day, her message made it into the hearts and minds of enough supporters to turn a nation.

It's a wonderfully told story filled with illustrations that truly bring the past to life, while reminding us that change only comes about because someone decides to speak up. A great lesson for readers of all ages and stages in life, and a great addition to personal, public, and school libraries alike.
