"The History of Woman Suffrage, Volume V" by Ida Husted Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a six-volume series that documents the seventy-year struggle for women's suffrage in the United States, culminating in the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. It focuses on the eventual victory of the suffrage movement and the ongoing efforts worldwide, providing a comprehensive look at the key events, personalities, and organizations involved in this pivotal movement in American history.
