Readers take a journey through the evolution of suffrage with Elizabeth Cady Stanton—from the first women’s rights convention at Seneca Falls, N.Y., through protests, trials, and jail sentences, and a movement that eventually achieved the right to vote for women. A good first book to introduce younger students to the women’s rights movement. Bibliography, Author’s Note. Elizabeth Cady Stanton called on women across America to stand together and demand to be treated as equal to men by sharing in the right to vote. Doreen Rappaport's moving account of Elizabeth Stanton and the women's suffrage movement weaves an incredible (but true) tale that touches 29 other women (and their images) throughout the book. The thing that strikes readers first about Elizabeth Started All the Trouble are the amazing illustrations by Matt Faulkner. Faulkner has also illustrated Thank You Sarah, Stand Tall Abe Lincoln, and 35 other books. Finally, on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution granting women the right to vote became law. "The women had triumphed after battling for the vote for seventy-two years. But they knew their work was not over. There were still many unfair laws to change so that women could have true equality with men. And we're still working on it." Spanning from 1840-1920, this book covers all of the women who played a critical role in the suffragist movement. While the book is short, there is a lot of information contained within the covers. The supplemental materials include more detailed descriptions of "The Trailblazers" who are mentioned throughout the book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

She couldn't go to college. She couldn't become a politician. She couldn't even vote. But Elizabeth Cady Stanton didn't let that stop her. She called 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 begin to change.
