Summary:

The Fifth Star: Ohio's Fight for Women's Right to Vote by Jamie C. Capuzza chronicles the significant contributions of Ohio's suffragists in the broader women's rights movement in the United States. The book explores the evolution of the movement across different eras, such as the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, highlighting the strategic efforts and challenges faced by women in their struggle for suffrage. It details the historical context of Ohio as a pivotal state in advocating for women's rights, including early political activism against the Indian Removal Act. This narrative is both an homage to the resilience of Ohio's suffragists and an examination of how they helped shape the political landscape.
