This moving story relates the final phase of Minnesota women's struggle to win the vote under the leadership of the remarkable Clara Ueland. Through a depiction of Ueland's life and work, Barbara Stuhler shows us the state's hardworking and energetic suffragists-marching in the streets, organizing women throughout Minnesota, arguing over strategies, and speaking out before the legislature. The book traces the vital connections between their local actions and the national campaign, providing a valuable capsule history of the equal-suffrage movement in the United States.

Review
"This is an admirable book. Barbara Stuhler reminds us that lesser-known midwestern women were just as instrumental to the success of suffrage as were nationally know women such as Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul." -- The Annals of Iowa
