This book opened my eyes about figures and events during the struggle for getting the right to vote for women of all races and identies. Through a general overview of the movement and chapters devoted to specific activists (many of whom I was unfamiliar with before reading). It looked at divisions between white suffragettes and suffragettes who were Black, Latina, and Indigenous. The book was accessible and beautifully designed with short chapters and plentiful images and art. ( )

Finish the fight is a wonderful book about the women who fought for their right to vote. I would love to have this book in my classroom to show that anyone can do anything that they put their mind to. Furthermore, I love this books message to fight for what you believe in, I think this is a great message to show students. ( )

Having read about this book in the New York Times Book Review, I thought it was going to be a history of the fight for women’s suffrage and women's rights told in a series of biographical vignettes, starting with the 1848 convention held in Seneca Falls, NY. I was disappointed that it skipped all of the high profile (white) suffragettes in favor of the lesser known African American, Latina, Chinese, and Native American women, whose fight continued for many years beyond the 19th amendment, because I wanted to hear about all of these women's trials, tribulations and triumphs for equality.
