Lifting as We Climb tells the overlooked history of Black women in the American suffrage movement — from abolitionist Maria Stewart and antislavery orator Sojourner Truth to Ida B. Wells and Mary Church Terrell — making clear that the fight for women's right to vote was never just a white women's story, and that Black suffragists had to wage their battle on two fronts: against racial prejudice from within the suffrage movement itself, and against the broader injustice of American society. Evette Dionne's meticulous research and powerful writing makes this Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book an essential choice for students because it fills a significant gap in how the suffrage movement is typically taught, honoring the courage of women who refused to be left behind.
