Overview
The only picture-book biography about the important and influential leader of the suffragist movement: Louisine Havemeyer
In February 1919, Louisine Havemeyer led 100 women to picket in front of the White House. They were suffragists, marching for women’s right to vote.
Louisine had been fortunate to grow up in a middle-class family that supported women’s education. As she became friends with forward thinkers like the painter Mary Cassatt, Louisine’s worldview broadened—and her voice grew louder.
When Louisine became a wealthy widow, she used her unique position in society to support women’s suffrage—staging an art show to fund the cause, making rousing speeches on the campaign trail, and qualifying for Alice Paul’s “Prison Special” train tour across America.
Celebrating an influential suffragist, Louisine Lights a Legacy tells the story of an unsung trailblazer who forged her own path and brightly fought for her beliefs.
Back matter includes bibliography, brief bios of other suffragists: Harriot Stanton Blatch, Hattie Quinn Brown, Frederick Douglass, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Mary Church Terrell, Nina Otero-Warren, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Zitkala-Ša.
