Elizabeth Leads the Way
What's This Book About
Elizabeth Cady Stanton stood up and fought for what she believed in. From an early age, she knew that women were not given rights equal to men. But rather than accept her lesser status, Elizabeth went to college and later gathered other like-minded women to challenge the right to vote. Here is the inspiring story of an extraordinary woman who changed America forever because she wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. Elizabeth Leads the Way is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children’s Book of the Year.
Reviews
Tanya Lee Stone does an admirable job of sharing the story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton with enough detail to be insightful without becoming too intimidating of a read for a children's book. Rebecca Gibbon's illustrations also keep the story cheerful and fun when at times it could be justifiably disheartening.
