    Unfinished Revolution, An: Edna Buckman Kearns and the Struggle for Women's Rights

    Marguerite Kearns, "Unfinished Revolution, An: Edna Buckman Kearns and the Struggle for Women's Rights "
    English | ISBN: 1438483325 | 2021 | 432 pages | PDF | 13 MB

    The story of the suffrage movement and the ongoing struggle for women’s rights through the lens of one family’s history.

    Through the lens of one family’s history, An Unfinished Revolution tells the story of the suffrage movement and the ongoing struggle for women’s rights in the United States. The book opens with ten-year-old Marguerite Kearns listening to her grandfather Wilmer’s stories about how he met her grandmother Edna, a ninth-generation Quaker and ardent suffrage campaigner, and how he fell in love with her. Wilmer, who became a male suffrage activist himself, also shares the story of the “Spirit of 1776” suffrage campaign wagon that Edna and others used while organizing in New York State in 1913. After sitting for years in a Kearns family garage, the wagon is currently housed in the permanent collection of the New York State Museum as a prime artifact in the national suffrage movement.

    As Marguerite grows older, she draws on a wide variety of sources―from family stories and photographs to archives and scholarly histories―to piece together the real-life narrative of her family. Profoundly changed in the process, she becomes an activist herself, and when she marches in a present-day women’s march, she carries a photo of her grandparents participating in a 1914 women’s march in New York. With the women’s suffrage movement as the backdrop, this memoir and family history illuminates how activism passes from one generation to another―and how a horse-drawn suffrage campaign wagon became a symbol of freedom and equality.
