History Smashers: Women's Right to Vote by Kate Messner
5.0
Getting a kid interested in history isn't the easiest thing in the world. The Women's right to vote isn't the most popular topic (though it SHOULD be). Kate Messner brings the story to a 3rd grade level and makes it enjoyable for any age to read. The added comics and graphic illustrations interspersed throughout are helpful in keeping attention. I love this topic and I learned a ton.
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? Wonder why Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are the 2 names that pop up when talking about women's suffrage? The literally wrote the book, even before the 19th amendment was passed. Many women were integral in fighting for the right to vote. Messner gives us a yearbook of names important to remember.
Living in Portland and watching nightly protests on the local news, I wonder how anyone knowing America's history can nay-say this first amendment right. Sure enough, suffragettes went through hell to get that right to vote. We all need to read this book to remind ourselves how America got to be America...and why people are protesting to ensure liberty and justice for all.
