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 & Brave introduces 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.

Here are the stories of ten leaders who strove to win the right to vote for American women--a journey that took more than seventy years of passionate commitment. From well-known figures, such as Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth to lesser known women such as Alice Paul and Mary Church Terrell, these are heroes who dreamed big and never gave up. Senator Gillibrand highlights an important and pithy lesson from each woman's life--from "dare to be different" to "fight together."

With gorgeous illustrations by renowned artist Maira Kalman, this is a book that will inspire and uplift, a book to be cherished and shared.

The suffragists included are: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Jovita Idár, Alice Paul, Inez Milholland, Ida B. Wells, Lucy Burns, and Mary Church Terrell.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-5-Gillibrand, a U.S. Senator, begins with a quick look back at her great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother-all strong women who bucked the norm, fought for what they believed in, and never backed down. And who inspired these female forebears to be "bold and brave so they could teach me and you?" Blending eye-catching artwork with well-written text, the two-page profiles that follow introduce 10 trailblazing women, touching upon each individual's particular challenges, accomplishments, and legacy. Well-chosen details make the snapshots vivid, as do the short quotations woven into the vignettes (though no citations are provided). Kalman's full-page portraits combine the realism of a photograph with bold color choices that pack in personality and make the images pop off the pages. Featured are figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Jovita Idár, and Mary Church Terrell. The book ends on a well-conceived and truly inspirational note with mention of the 2017 Women's March in Washington, DC and a call to readers to "Stand up, speak out, and fight for what you believe in." VERDICT A rousing introduction to 10 fascinating and fearless women. Consider for robust collections.-Joy Fleishhacker, Pikes Peak Library District, Colorado Springsα(c) Copyright 2011.

I loved reading the stories of the "sheroes" who were so brave and helped make sure that all women would be able to vote one day. Each chapter is a great introduction to their contributions to the movement and i plan to do more reading about each of these women. Thank you for writing such an important book!

I think this is a great book for you g girls and even boys to read about history. So much history is lost by the youth of today and is not taught in schools like it was when I was in school. It’s a shame that history is not taught like it used to be. That why the youth of today doesn’t understand what these statues of Confederate soldiers represent. It was not just about slavery, it was about more. And the youth of today just wants to make it a race issue. They need to do some research and learn more about the history of their country, abuse it’s not taught in schools anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important Book for Everyone

It was wonderful to get this book one week after voting. I was delighted to read this book to my 9 year old twin daughters. It was perfect for them. That said, I felt incredibly emotional. Although I know the history, it is still so difficult to imagine that women were treated this way. I explained to my girls that these brave women fought so hard so we could have opportunities. These women are my heroes. I believe this book should be part of the American elementary school curriculum. Well done Senator Gillibrand.

I bought this book for my granddaughter so she would be able to tell me all about how the 19th amendment was passed I recently read a book called the woman’s hour which was quite detailed so this was a young adult version I think every teenage girl should read this book so she understands what It took for women to get the right to vote
