History Smashers: Women's Right to Vote by Kate Messner
inspiring

5.0
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me have an ARC so I may read it and give my honest opinion.
Kate Messner has done it again with another great History Smashers book. I love how she takes the myths and some facts we are told when we are kids in school. Everything I read in here I did not learn until college. It is such an eye opener for so many people who believe in the women rights and how women have accomplished so much, but with lots of fault along the way. We see lots of women like Susan B. Anthony in a different light. How she was only fighting for the voting rights for white women. In grade school no one really knows about how racist a lot of the women suffragettes were. I also liked how Kate Messner talks about the black women who started their own women clubs to help the black women get the right to vote. I think this story needs to be on library and school shelves for everyone to read. Even adults should read this and get inspired to read more about the true history of the women's right movement.
