Essential U.S. history that will enlighten and inspire anyone to learn even more about the women who used their innate power, knowledge, tact and integrity, through sheer fortitude to shape a nation. History author and professor Dr. David Head covers an amazing range of historical facts to pull back the curtain, for example; "With last minute encouragement from his mother, Febb Ensminger Burn, to 'be a good boy,' TN legislator Harry T. Burn provides the decisive vote for the state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment protecting women's right to vote." The knowledge gained that will motivate the reader to want to know more is encouraged with the many books mentioned in this guide written by these women. The broad scope of coverage offers so much that at this price the value for what is learned is unmatched. Whether for kids or adults, this is an exciting timeline with history that can't be missed.
