Terrazas Non-Fiction BYO Book Club

4.1

Grab your favorite non-fiction read on Women's Suffrage and join the Terrazas BYO Book Club for a lively discussion! This monthly meetup dives into the inspiring fight for women's voting rights, perfect for Women's History Month.

Bring any book tied to the movement—from the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to the 19th Amendment's ratification in 1920—and share your discoveries. Expect diverse perspectives, from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Declaration of Sentiments to Susan B. Anthony's bold activism and the roles of figures like Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass.

  • Chat about key timelines: Wyoming's early suffrage in 1869, state victories like Colorado (1893), and massive parades in NYC and DC.
  • Explore suggested reads like Century of Struggle by Eleanor Flexner or Why They Marched by Susan Ware.
  • Discover how alliances with abolitionists and temperance groups fueled the cause, sparking fascinating conversations!

It's a fun, brainy night out for history buffs—come learn, debate, and celebrate the trailblazers who changed the world.
