New Book Tells The Story Of The Women Who Fought For The Right To Vote

Book cover "Finish the Fight"

The new book "Finish the Fight: The Brave and Revolutionary Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote," comes during the centennial of the 19th amendment.

By New York Times senior editor Veronica Chambers and the staff of the New York Times, the book is a collective biography of overlooked women's history that widens the lens around the work that went into the suffrage movement and puts the spotlight on the black, indigenous, Latinx, and Asian women who were crucial to the fight.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
