Résumé
In 1887 Susanna Salter was ready to vote for the first time ever. The State of Kansas had just given women the right to vote in municipal elections. But some men in Susanna's hometown, Argonia, didn't think she, or any… other woman should have a say in choosing their next mayor. They put Susanna on the ballot for mayor, as a joke. They were sure she would lose, and then women like her would stay at home, where they belonged. But the joke was on them when Susanna won the race! Told by a grandmother who remembers what happened on that fateful election day, this is a true story of a woman who stood up for her right to vote and accomplished so much more. For grades K-3
