Why read it?
1 author picked A Suffragette My Own Story as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is very important to me. It gave me more understanding of the Suffragette movement in the UK and how women sacrificed their lives for equal rights and fairness.

From Zoya's list on The best books about the Karen and human rights that inspire me.
