Logan Hollihan brings the women's suffrage movement to life in the informative
and inspiring Rightfully Ours – How Women
Won the Vote. Throughout the book, Hollihan weaves a clear and fascinating picture
of the times, culture, and historical events behind the struggle. Against this context,
she tells the stories of the heroic women who fought the battle for equality:
Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and many others. These
surprisingly intimate portraits make the women of the movement real and
relevant for today's young readers. A wealth of illustrations and photographs
supplement the text. The book also includes a good mix of appealing activities designed
to help kids understand the times and relate to the suffragists. Highly
recommended! You can get it from Amazon.
