Mama Went to Jail for the Vote

'Women are in chains, daughter!' Mama exclaims. 'We are half the population of this great nation, yet haven't any say in how it's run.' Susan Elizabeth's mother is always making statements like that. Mama is a suffragist, fighting for women's right to vote. Soon Mama begins picketing the White House and really does end up in chains. Then Susan Elizabeth begins to appreciate her mother's valiant fight, and joins it-in her own small but powerful way. This is a humorous and eye-opening fictional story of the women's suffrage movement.
