This is a biography of two suffragists who were pioneers in the fight for women's rights. The author gave an apt description of the world for women before the Nineteenth Amendment. Because they were wrongly thought to be the "weaker sex", woman were discriminated against.
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were the women who chose to fight for their rights. The events that made Susan and Elizabeth who they were had similarities and differences as depicted by the author. Pictures, quotes among other items, were used to make Susan and Elizabeth as lifelike as possible.
The story is succinct, and yet poignant. Readers will enjoy learning about these great woman, and how their choices changed the world for women and men as well.
