In "A Time to Act" by Shana Corey, young activist Mary Walker rises to the challenge during the tumultuous period of the suffragette movement. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Mary navigates societal expectations and personal sacrifices as she advocates for women's rights. With determination and a fierce spirit, she rallies her community, faces opposition, and learns the power of perseverance. Through her journey, Mary not only fights for the vote but also inspires others to take action for change. This empowering tale highlights the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs and the impact of civic engagement. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
