Description

This book presents a history of the women's suffrage movement, and examines the first women's rights convention in New York, suffrage leaders including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others, and the nineteenth amendment which gave women the right to vote.

Quick Summary

This book spotlights the fearless ladies who kicked off the women's rights movement in America, showing how a group of determined women refused to accept "you can't vote because you're a girl." Readers will cheer as they meet Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other suffragists who organized conventions, gave fiery speeches, and fought for decades just so women could have a say in their own government. If your kid loves "I Survived" books or enjoys learning about real heroes who changed the world, they'll be hooked on these suffrage superstars. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 (ages 9-12) who enjoy history with strong female role models.
