Book club meetings by Zoom are here. I was pleased to recently be invited to attend a book club Zoom meeting. They were discussing my new book, Victory with Valor: Women's Suffrage in America. On my website, Barbara.Robison.com, and on the Amazon Author Page a number of discussion points for the book are offered.
Of special interest to the members was the relationship of Carrie Chapman Catt, whose life inspired the book, and her husband George Catt. One woman commented, "Carrie was ahead of her time. Her relationship seems more contemporary, with both husband and wife having careers involving travel and deep commitment, but still they had a strong love for each other. The rise of a young farm girl to a place of national and international prominence was also discussed. A club member is purchasing books as gifts for her granddaughters. She felt they would be inspired by the hard work of Carrie and her suffrage companions to obtain the vote for women. Race relations and immigration are major points in the book, as the reader sees Carrie mature from her small-town background to develop a global perspective through the years. Many at the meeting commented that they learned a great deal about the ins and outs of politics, and how difficult it is to amend the U.S. Constitution. The club enjoyed the book enough that they purchased books for a book club kit to be distributed by the local library to other book clubs in the area. If you are a book club member you, too, will find Victory with Valor an interesting read, with good discussion material provided. An independent internet reviewer for Hidden Gems wrote, "This tale follows one woman fighting for the rights of women in America. It is a strong and powerful read." She awarded the book 5 stars. Victory with Valor makes a thought-provoking book club choice. It is the perfect gift for any aspiring, strong women and young adults in your life!
