This book tells the story about Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She was born in 1815 during a time when women had no rights. She got married early and started a family but she always worked toward the women's right to vote. She toured America talking to people about women's suffrage. Elizabeth worked with abolitionists and other women. She was great friends with Susan B Anthony and they worked together giving speeches and talking to as many people as possible about the important rights of women to vote. Lizzie Stanton, as she was known to her friends, worked her entire for the cause. She died 18 years before the 19th Amendment but she was a huge influence and power behind the cause.

Jean Fritz writes an engaging, spellbinding, nonfiction narrative about one of America's most beloved figures of the Women's Suffrage Movement.

Fritz sprinkles anecdotes about Mrs. Stanton and her interactions with others such as Susan B. Anthony. Readers see a softer side of Mrs. Stanton such as her struggle to have her father love her like a son and her disappointment in him not seeing women as his equal.… (more)

This is a wonderful book for children. It reads like fiction, so they may not realize that they're being educated. Too bad textbooks can't emulate this fashion.
