Maye's March for Women's Votes by Amy Houts

Picture
Picture

Vera Maye Shipps is a 19-year old trombone player who yearns to do something important to fight for women’s voting rights. There’s not much opportunity in the rural area where she lives. But then, as a member of the Missouri Ladies Military Band, she is invited to travel 1,000 miles by train to lead a 1913 suffrage parade in Washington, D.C. When the parade route is blocked by a throng of men, Maye and the other band members must act fast to stir the course of history. Written for children ages 8-12, Maye's March for Women's Votes—based  on real people and real events—includes passages from her diary. ​

What People are Saying About Maye's March for Women's Votes:

"Well done! What an awesome tribute. I love it. Thank you very very much for your time and care in bringing such adventure, pride and sense of history to Maye's little diary!" -- John Lusk, grandson of Vera Maye Shipps

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and engaging account of a pivotal event in history
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2021Maye Shipps’ dream to make a difference for women’s rights was fulfilled when she marched in a suffrage parade in Washington DC. Who would have thought playing a trombone could lead to activism? But that is exactly what happened! In this inspiring and engaging story based on true events, a women’s band leads the parade, their music facilitating triumph when they’re met with opposition. This is a book sure to appeal to young girls everywhere—especially those who share Maye’s passionate spirit! The author has also done a beautiful job providing historical back matter which is as interesting as the story itself. -- Ann Harrell, author of Around the Sun and Over the Moon (on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Mayes-March-Womens-Votes-Houts/dp/0985508477/)


"I couldn't put it down. It is really an amazing story about a historical event right in our front yard. I would wish every student in our schools would have a chance to read it. Everyone should know about this event and its importance to our history. You have written a well researched, most timely and interesting true story about a young girl with her musical group traveling from a small mid western community of Maryville to Washington D.C. to help advance women's voting rights. It's a fascinating story!" -- Leona Jackson, former high school teacher and Maryville, Missouri resident​

"I just finished the book, which I enjoyed very much. It was factual yet entertaining. Thank you for writing it. My family will enjoy it for years to come." -- Cathy Nash Wilson, cousin of Alma Nash, director of the Missouri Ladies Military Band

"Excellent read!!  And yes, it was inspiring. It kept my attention and very interesting. Thank you. That would be a very good book for access in our schools." -- Edie Stephenson, Missouri resident
