Framing Elizabeth Cady Stanton as the catalyst who started the women’s suffrage movement, this lively picture book chronicles many of the contributions made by several generations of women in the movement. The work details the Seneca Falls Convention, organized partly by Stanton, and the Declaration of Sentiments which demanded more rights for women. A trailblazer in the movement that eventually earned women the right to vote, Stanton was a woman of courage, perseverance, and principle. The book follows through the decades-long work for women’s rights and highlights important figures such as Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, and more. This serves as an entertaining and informative introduction to both the women’s suffrage movement and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
