A terrific group of short stories.Stories based on the suffragette movement.The stories are written by a group of wonderful authors .I really enjoyed this collection.#netgalley#henryholt&company

This collection of stories honors the struggle for women's suffrage and several perspectives of a variety of women across New York and the country at this time across the essays. Each story uses impactful, captivating language to draw the reader in. With everything that's happening in the world, this book is more important than ever to show why we need to stand up and fight for justice and equality. The stories are all about such strong, curious women and their male allies whom all turn up for the same suffragette parade in NYC. Some of these stories do end quite abruptly and ambiguously, while others feel completed and whole. But its overarching lesson about standing up and remaining strong at protests still rings true. Then, the little Grace character bounds from one story to the next, during the parade, and as she weaves through the parade, multiple stories are tied together and show off a symbol of hope for the next generation. It's an eye-opening and important read, chock full of compelling language. It shares a message that women are not invisible and can/will/need to make their own destiny. The stories do highlight diverse voices, with two women of color protagonists, however, I wish it was a higher number instead of making it seem like a "white woman issue," I would have loved more of that diverse perspective in a more even split.

I had high hopes for this book, with so many talented authors coming together in one collection, and it was even better than I expected. Some stories resonated with me slightly more than others, but I found myself drawn into most of them and wishing that they were full-length books instead of short stories. This is truly a moving and heartfelt set of stories. I learned even more about the movement than I knew previously and look forward to researching and reading more.

wow as a woman I am humbled and inspired. I love Fiona Davis and MJ Rose for her fictional stories and Kristin Hannah is just unbelievable. seeing how they can tell a story and how these stories inspire the writing I adore

Stories from suffragette City is an interesting compilation of short stories by some of my favorite authors. I enjoyed all of the stories. Thanks to NetGalley and Henry Holt and Co. for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a short story collection of fictionalized stories from the suffrage movement. The stories take place during one of the most famous marches in New York. It's rare to read a short story collection and love all of the stories, so I was quite surprised by how much I loved every story in this book.

This is a great collection of fictionalized stories about women's suffrage during one of the most famous marches in New York. Each story follows an individual woman's experience with the march. As a feminist and a former New Yorker, I could not have loved this book more.

All the stories are good but several struck me as particularly wonderful. "A First Step" by M.J. Rose is a beautiful story which has some wonderful New York history (including a fictionalization of the "family business," Tiffany and Co. The family business at Tiffany also serves as a lovely analogy for the way some men then treated (and still today, treat) women, as things to be admired and handled delicately. This story captured the way I always imagined/romanticized suffrage in New York to be and made me wish I was there. It is also the linchpin of a common thread that runs through most of the stories.

And there were also the important and painful stories of the less rich and privileged women. I also loved American Womanhood which is a great illustration of the exclusion of women of color in the suffrage movement that will make you angry. And "Just Politics," about an Armenian woman, taught me many things I did not know.

This book tells the story of suffrage in a way I've never read it before -- through fictional stories of individual women living a variety of different lives at the time -- and in that way it made me feel much closer to it than I have before. These were women who could have been me or my friends -- and somehow the fictionalization of this delivers that sentiment straight to your heart in a way that the historical documents cannot.

Anyway, I loved this book. Read it!
