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.
