This is a fun introduction to the women's suffragist movement and a nice depiction of two women on a mission (one where they do not drive off a cliff at the end). Also
I borrowed this book via Hoopla and didn't realize it was an audio version. The enunciation was very clear and there are background sounds to help set the stage. I'll have to look for a hard copy of this book the next time I'm at the library or bookstore because I adore the cover image and want to see scene depictions.
