Make More Noise!: New Stories in Honour of the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage by Jeanne Willis, Katherine Woodfine, Emma Carroll, Patrice Lawrence, Catherine Johnson, M.G. Leonard, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Sally Nicholls, Ally Kennen, Ella Risbridger
5.0
Here’s why I think books like this one is so important:
Firstly, this is aimed towards kids and young adults. It is so, so important to make the history of the suffrage movement widely accessible to the public at large, and particularly important to do this in the case of young people. This book, that celebrates women, does this.
Secondly, whilst every one of the short stories has a common thread of feminism running through it, the diversity of this collection is LOVELY. Yes, there are great stories which centre suffrage, but there are also amazing fantasy & contemporary tales. Each one complements another.
Ultimately, this book is tremendous, each story was so good that they all seemed to stand out, and it’s a must read, especially in this centenary year!
