Description

In September 1918 Elizabeth Kalb boarded a train to Washington, DC to fight for voting rights for women. For over two years, Elizabeth lived and worked at the National Woman's Party headquarters a block from the White House. Letters she wrote during that time describe detention at the Capitol and an arrest at the White House, raising money, serving in the organization's Tea Room and struggling through the 1918 flu epidemic. Elizabeth draws the reader into a world of intense partisanship, battles with police, and diverse personalities united in a common cause. Suffragists ensured that politicians could not ignore women's rights. Author Shirley Marshall uses this eyewitness account to create an indelible portrait of life within the National Woman's Party.

Author Biography:

Shirley Marshall is a social history researcher extraordinaire and a management consultant. Her collection of eighteenth- to twentieth-century correspondence proves both the complexity and the repetitiveness of history. An air force veteran, Shirley earned a JD from the UVA School of Law and worked in social services. Inheriting Elizabeth Handy's papers led to a decades-long odyssey, exploring a full and complex life. Elizabeth's writings include her time in Washington, D.C., in California's Sonoran Desert and in Peking (Beijing) during the Chinese civil war. Other than writing, Shirley advises nonprofit clients, travels at every opportunity and tends her almost-native overgrown garden. www.elizabethsbook.com.
