I’m thrilled to announce that WDM Publishing has released my short historical fiction tale, SISTERS IN SUFFRAGE.
Writing this story was a departure for me since mysteries and crime fiction are not my genres of choice. I had written a blog post several years ago encouraging women voters to exercise the rights that our foremothers suffered to earn for us. I knew when I began my research that my right to vote hadn’t come freely, but I hadn’t realized the extent to which “suffrage” and “suffering” were related when it came to women in the early 20th century. When the memory of that research surfaced, “Sisters in Suffrage” was born.
I hope readers will agree that this fictional tale of women’s suffrage in the United States is particularly apropos in this election year.
SISTERS IN SUFFRAGE
by Debbie Mumford
Audience: Historical Fiction | Short Story
Nineteen-year-old Emily Tuttle defies her father and travels to Washington, D.C. to join her idol, Alice Paul, in the fight for women’s suffrage. With high hopes, she joins Ms. Paul’s “Silent Sentinels” only to discover that her expectations of easy victory have been naïve. Will Emily and her sisters in suffrage gain the right for women to vote, or will they give in to the patriarchal pressures of their day?
