SuitabookCamilla Can Vote
Mary Morgan Ketchel, Marsha Blackburn
- Reading
- Read together, pausing to distinguish the story’s time-travel device from the historical events it introduces. Afterwards, invite your child to identify what they would like to find out about the suffrage campaign.
- Themes
- Women’s suffrage and civic change: Camilla learns about the campaign for women’s voting rights and the 1920 Tennessee vote connected with ratification of the 19th Amendment. The work is presented as celebrating and commemorating women’s suffrage, framing the achievement as significant rather than treating it as a neutral political detail.
- Worth knowing
- The history centres on women not having the same rights as men and on a contested political decision. This may be a useful moment to explore how unequal rights affected people and how change was pursued.
