Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke before an eager crowd in Seneca Falls, New York, on a hot July morning in 1948. She began her speech with words that were familiar to American ears: But the ideas that followed were radical. "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal" Stanton went on to boldly demand equal rights for women--including suffrage, the right to vote. It took more than 70 years from that moment before all American women could vote in American elections. The fight was led by several generations of courageous women who devoted their lives to liberty and equality. This is their story.

Review
"Focusing on Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul, this title, written in reader's theater format, examines several seminal civil rights events, such as the 1840 World Antislavery Conference in London, the early speeches at Seneca Falls, and the Woman's Suffrage Parade the day before Woodrow Wilson's inauguration in 1913. The book starts with a helpful overview of women's suffrage and brief biographies of the characters, while the prologue features Stanton, Anthony, and Paul, referred to as 'old, ' looking back on their experiences with the movement. The bulk of the book is comprised of three different scenes, which include the older versions of these characters, as well as short letters. A short, reflective epilogue touches on continuing concerns in the struggle for equality. Though somewhat flat in appearance, the numerous illustrations reinforce the text nicely. Simple, grade-appropriate vocabulary make this offering well suited for oral expression. However, the author doesn't include any information on how closely the text hews to actual quotes from primary sources. Free downloadable scripts make it easy to produce class lessons or a full production, while brief follow-up questions will assist teachers, and a resource page will aid students preparing reports. VERDICT: A useful introduction to women's history."―School Library Journal
