4.0
This book briefly and gracefully summarizes the most important elements of Susan B. Anthony's women's rights advocacy, explaining the issues in a way that an easy-reader audience can understand.
My only complaint is that this book shows Frederick Douglass in one of the illustrations without introducing him in the text. It is nice that the book includes a nod towards the partnership between these significant figures, but beginning readers are highly unlikely to recognize him, much less know anything about the relationship between Anthony and Douglass. I wish that the text had provided some background for this, instead of leaving it as subtext for older readers.
