Vera Maye Shipps is a 19-year old trombone player who yearns to do something important to fight for women’s voting rights. There’s not much opportunity in the rural area where she lives. But then, as a member of the Missouri Ladies Military Band, she is invited to travel 1,000 miles by train to lead a 1913 suffrage parade in Washington, D.C. When the parade route is blocked by a group of men, Maye and the other band members must act fast to stir the course of history. This narrative nonfiction book is based on real people and a real event. Maye kept a diary of her trip.
