Many of them devoted themselves to the cause knowing they wouldn't live to cast a ballot. <P><P>The story of women's suffrage is epic, frustrating, and as complex as the women who fought for it. Illustrated with portraits, period cartoons, and other images, Roses and Radicals celebrates this captivating yet overlooked piece of American history and the women who made it happen.
