ALA Booklist (Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 CDT 2018)

Despite their compact size, the books in the Blast Back! series give readers a well-rounded look at a historical subject. Women's Suffrage is given a full treatment, with focus on the movement throughout the world, not just the U.S. Little-known facts men still can't vote in Vatican City e dropped throughout, and there are brief profiles of individual suffragettes. The pencil illustrations in both books are lively but sometimes belie the gravity of situations. Still, the perennial topics of interest and kid-friendly format should snare readers for these wide-ranging volumes.

Blast back to the past and learn all about the women's suffrage movement.

When people think about the women's suffrage movement, things like voting rights and protests may come to mind. But what was the movement all about, and what social change did it bring? This engaging nonfiction book, complete with black-and-white interior illustrations, will make readers feel like they've traveled back in time. It covers everything from the history of women's rights in the U.S. to women's suffrage movements across the world, and more. Find out interesting, little-known facts such as how the suffragists were the first people to ever picket the White House and how the nineteenth amendment granting women the right to vote passed by only one vote when a legislator changed his vote to "yes" after receiving a letter from his mother telling him to "do the right thing." The unique details, along with the clever interior illustrations, make this series stand out from the competition.
