6.5

“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.”
