NO PLACE FOR A WOMAN: THE STRUGGLE FOR SUFFRAGE IN THE WILD WEST by Chris Enss will be published on March 1st 2020 by Two Dot Books.
Prior to the ratification of the 19th Amendment that (finally) gave females the right to vote in 1920, some of the western states granted suffrage to their female residents. In NO PLACE FOR A WOMAN, Chris Enss provides a straightforward but not overly in depth account of the highlights (and lowlights) of the state-by-state struggles these western women faced while lobbying for suffrage. Not only does Enss provide details on the state-by-state battles, she also includes information about the overall national fight for women’s suffrage. NO PLACE FOR A WOMAN is a good read for anyone wanting to learn the basic history of women’s suffrage in the American West.
