This true story follows the lives of two daughters of the Gilded Age--Lucy and Eliza Kennedy--who were educated at Vassar College and became leaders of the suffrage movement. Then, after the Nineteenth Amendment was passed in 1920, they spent the next forty years fighting corruption in politics and government. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tenacious, smart, and witty, they captivated crowds, disarmed their opponents, and instilled particular dread among the corrupt politicians who were the unfortunate targets of their nonpartisan crusade. Their entry across the threshold of Pittsburgh's City-County Building would reportedly invoke a flurry of hushed warnings through the halls: \"The She Devils are at the door!\" Together, Lucy and Eliza fought for the vote, empowered women to use it wisely, forced a mayor out of office in disgrace, took control of the city budget, exposed a series of scandals, spearheaded police reform, and launched a campaign that would eventually clear Pittsburgh of its smoky veil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring the true story of two powerful women, this book comes at a propitious time, reminding us how far women have come and how vigilant we must remain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEliza Smith Brown\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Legends and Visions, A Legacy in Brick and Mortar: African American Landmarks in Allegheny County\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Duquesne Club Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e.
