really liked it

bookshelves: picture-book, women-history

An important story about Alice Paul's role in the battle for women's right to vote is told through the metaphor of a boxing match. I don't appreciate the simplification of the struggle being whittled down to a boxing match between two people, but I imagine it might draw different types of readers. Kind of like how different viewers were drawn to watch tennis when Billie Jean King whipped Bobby Riggs's ass in 1973.
