Description

¡Celebra la Enmienda XIX con esta novela histórica sobre el voto femenino!

Violet huye de casa para buscar a su hermana. En su viaje, encuentra una amiga... y una causa.

Es 1920 y han pasado varios años desde que Violet tuvo noticias de Chloe, su hermana mayor. Cuando descubre las cartas de Chloe que su madre ha estado ocultando, Violet decide salir a buscarla. Sigue su rastro de Nueva York a Tennessee. Y durante su viaje no solo se reúne con Chloe: también se suma a su lucha por conquistar el derecho de las mujeres al voto.

Y ¡qué lucha tan intensa! Violet y su nueva amiga, Myrtle, se unen a la causa de las sufragistas que buscan sumar a más legisladores para cambiar la historia. Violet sabe que sus padres no aprobarían las ideas de sus hijas, pero también sabe que luchar por la justicia no la hace una mala chica.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Celebrate the 19th Amendment with this stirring historical novel about women's suffrage!

She's searching for her sister. Along the way, she finds a friend . . . and a cause.

It's been three years since Violet's sister, Chloe, left home, and Violet is determined to find her! She runs away and follows her sister's trail all the way to New York and then Tennessee. There, she discovers not only Chloe but the fierce fight for women's right to vote.

And what a fight it is! Violet and her new friend Myrtle join Chloe in the Suffragists' cause, eager to sway legislators to their side. Violet knows that her parents would surely disapprove of her decisions, but if fighting for justice makes her the wrong kind of girl . . . then why does it feel so right?

A perfect Common Core tie-in, The Hope Chest includes historical notes about the suffrage movement, a "Voting in America" timeline, and other activities. It's also a New York State curriculum title for fourth grade.
