Excellent reading about a very important ammendment.

The 1st amendment deals with freedom of speech, press, assembly. The 2nd is for the right to bear arms. We all know what the 5th amendment is used for and the 13th ended slavery. Some know that the 15th amendment gave blacks the right to vote. But do you know what the 19th Amendment did?Most people will tell you that this amendment to the Constitution was one of the most important, it gave women the right to vote, and understand this is has only been 80 years since that amendment was passed. In this day of equal right, this is simply amazing that women have only been voting since 1920.The book covers the founders of women's rights movement, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, to Susan B. Anthony tireless efforts to get the Congress of the United States to pass legislation to give women the right to vote.You'll read about the suffragetts to marches on Washington to how the 19th amendment effects our lives even to the present day. The book took just over 1 hour to finish and it was easy reading filled with little facts I was unaware of concerning the 19th amendment. Overall a very good book to have as a reference.
