It documents the fight for women's right to vote, drawing on historic research, biographies of leaders, and such original sources as photos, line art, charts, graphs, documents, posters, ads, and buttons. It presents this often-forgotten struggle in an accessible, conversational, relevant manner for a wide audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here are the groundbreaking convention records, speeches, newspaper accounts, letters, photos, and drawings of those who fought for women's right to vote, all in their own words, arranged to convey the inherent historical drama. The accessible almanac style allows this entertaining history speak for itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It is full of little-known facts. For instance: When the Constitutional Convention of the thirteen colonies convened to draft the Constitution, Abigail Adams admonished her husband John Adams to \"remember the ladies\" (write rights for women into the Constitution!). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Important for today's discussions, \u003ci\u003eRemember the Ladies\u003c\/i\u003e does not extract women's suffrage from the inseparable concurrent historic endeavors for emancipation, immigration, and temperance.
