Veronica Chambers
Veronica Chambers is an editor, a New York Times journalist, a writer for television and an author. She has written more than a dozen books for children and young adults, including “The Go-Between,” “Celia Cruz, Queen of Salsa” and “Shirley Chisholm Is a Verb.” In “Finish The Fight!: The Brave and Revolutionary Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote” (Versify), written with the staff of The New York Times, Chambers reveals the lesser-known stories of diverse heroines who fought for the 19th amendment. Chambers notes that “so many movements and moments are interwoven into the suffrage story: from the abolitionist movement to temperance, from anti-lynching crusades to the labor movement and immigrants’ rights.”
