Description

She couldn’t go to college.

She couldn’t turn into a political candidate.

She couldn’t even vote.

But Elizabeth Cady Stanton didn’t let that stop her.

She referred to as on women across the nation to stand together and demand to be treated as equal to men-and that included the right to vote. It took nearly seventy-five years and generations of women fighting for their rights through words, through action, and through pure determination . . . for things to slowly start to change.

With the assistance of these trailblazers’ own words, Doreen Rappaport’s engaging text, brought to life by Matt Faulkner’s vibrant illustrations, shows readers just how far this revolution has come, and inspires them to keep it going!
