History Smashers: Women's Right to Vote dismantles the common myth that Susan B. Anthony single-handedly won women's right to vote, revealing instead that it took millions of women marching, picketing, and even going to jail over decades to secure the Nineteenth Amendment — and that many leading suffragists held deeply racist views that excluded Black women from their fight. Kate Messner's signature mix of comic panels, photographs, and sidebars exposes these complicated truths while highlighting the Black women who organized their own clubs to win voting rights. This is an essential choice for students because it teaches them to question oversimplified historical narratives while honoring the full, complicated story of how women won the vote.
