Good Girls Don't Make History by Elizabeth Kiehner, Kara Coyle
4.0

Good Girls Don't Make History is a great graphic novel about the history of women's suffrage in the United States. The art is very stylistic and beautiful. The authors did a great job of focusing the intersectional feminism in this book and how white suffragists got the vote but women of colour did not even though these women of colour fought with on their side so they could get the vote.

The graphic novel format makes this very accessible for younger audiences who are most likely to forget or not to consider how long women, and particularly women of colour, fought for the right to vote.
