“Standing Together: Inez Milholland’s Final Campaign for Women’s Suffrage” by Jeanine Michna-Bales (MW Editions). “A powerful and inspiring book, painstakingly researched, beautifully written, photographed and designed!” - EA
In
1916, Inez Milholland Boissevain (1886–1916) embarked on a grueling
campaign across the Western U.S. on behalf of The National Women's Party
appealing for Women's Suffrage ahead of the 1916 Presidential election.
The
30-year-old suffragist delivered some 50 speeches to standing-room-only
crowds in eight states in 21 states. She battled chronic illness and
died a month after her last speech in Los Angeles.
Her final
public words were, "Mr. President, how long must this go on, no
liberty?"
Through
her photographs, combining dramatic landscapes and historical
reenactments of important vignettes of Milholland on her journey, Jeanine Michna-Bales captures a glimpse of the monumental effort required to
pass the 19th Amendment.
