Produktbeschreibung

Help the young readers you care about understand how far women have come. Gift them this biography of a woman who co-founded the suffrage movement and took it to the Wild West. Few people today know that in 1800s America, women were expected to remain silent at public gatherings. That all started to change when women like Clarina Nichols began speaking up. Victim of a failed marriage, magnet to abused and mistreated women, this Vermont newspaper editor found her voice at a time when Seneca Falls and other gatherings were giving women the courage to demand equality. After moving to Kansas, Nichols had her greatest triumph, writing unprecedented rights for women into law. This richly illustrated biography was named to ALA's annual list of best feminist books by the Amelia Bloomer Project. School Library Journal's reviewer wrote, This engaging narrative of Nichols's life takes care to frame her personal struggles within the larger context of the women's movement.
