A Lady's Choice (American Tapestries series)By Sandra RobbinsDescription:One woman's struggle for voting rights places her in danger... and may cost her the love of her life. In 1916, Sarah Whittaker turns her back on Alex Taylor, the man she loves, to pursue her dream of working in the suffrage movement. Her choice takes her to the steps of the White House and to imprisonment in Occoquan workhouse where she endures the "Night of Terror." Alex rushes to the nation's capital to secure Sarah's freedom, but is he too late? Why the author wrote this book:I wanted today's women to understand the struggle of the suffragists who never gave up the fight to insure generations of women yet to come the right to vote. |
