About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Chiaverini returns with The Women’s March, an enthralling historical novel of the woman’s suffrage movement inspired by three courageous women who bravely risked their lives and liberty in the fight to win the vote.

Twenty-five-year-old Alice Paul returns to her native New Jersey after several years on the front lines of the suffrage movement in Great Britain. Weakened from imprisonment and hunger strikes, she is nevertheless determined to invigorate the stagnant suffrage movement in her homeland. Nine states have already granted women voting rights, but only a constitutional amendment will secure the vote for all.

To inspire support for the campaign, Alice organizes a magnificent procession down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, the day before the inauguration of President-Elect Woodrow Wilson, a firm antisuffragist.

Joining the march is 39-year-old New Yorker Maud Malone, librarian and advocate for women’s and workers’ rights. The daughter of Irish immigrants, Maud has acquired a reputation - and a criminal record - for interrupting politicians’ speeches with pointed questions they’d rather ignore.

Civil rights activist and journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett resolves that women of color must also be included in the march - and the proposed amendment. Born into slavery in Mississippi, Ida worries that White suffragists may exclude Black women if it serves their own interests.

On March 3, 1913, the glorious march commences, but negligent police allow vast crowds of belligerent men to block the parade route - jeering, shouting threats, assaulting the marchers - endangering not only the success of the demonstration but the women’s very lives.

Inspired by actual events, The Women’s March offers a fascinating account of a crucial but little-remembered moment in American history, a turning point in the struggle for women’s rights.

Great story line but it was moving very slow I’m thankful for these powerful and intelligent women for fighting for equal rights

Great story

Everything Jennifer writes is worth the read (or listen). I want my daughters son in laws and grandchildren to listen to this . We need to be reminded and taught of the things that did not come easy or without a price that we so casually enjoy today. The performance was fantastic. Thank you both.

Another gold one

This is history, well researched and come alive. Why wasn't this taught in history classes? I love history and I don't ever recall learning of the things that are read about in this book.

This is a book we should all read. Nothing should be taken for granted. It gave me respect to those who came before us.

I hadn't known some of this story

I wanted to love this book, but I did not. I actually found it to be somewhat tedious. I was not invested in the characters.

Tedious

If I had ever known even a bit of this history. I realize that a lot has been left out of our normal education.

I had no idea

As the granddaughter of a suffragette, I know a lot of the history behind the 19th amendment. A lot of books based on historical events read very dry. This was written in such a way you felt like you were going along with the characters as these things occurred. Thee writing was great and the narration was superb. if you are interested in women's rights you need to read this story.

True Story Written Well

So very well written . Entertaining and educational. I just makes me sick what women have had to go though and are still fighting.

Hopeful and sad!

I have probably read 20 of J.C.’s books but this is SO dry I am having a really hard time focusing on it.

I am struggling through this one…

We must keep the stories alive of how difficult the fight to gain freedom is. Fictionized stories like this one help to decrease a textbook delivery of facts. So, I appreciate Jennifer Chiaverini's research and finished work. Here's to strong women.

We need to continue to understand our history.
