You Want Women to Vote, Lizzie Stanton? (Unforgettable Americans)

Good read for a social studies background. It elaborated on women rights to vote and it place emphasis on Liz efforts to make it possible for women voice in politics. This was the feedback from my baby

Arrived in time and it's excellent for a 5th grade reader! Not too much, too too little. Perfect!

Excellent product, its price is quite good.

I am a huge Jean Fritz fan, so I was surprised that I did not like this book. I was looking for a good book about women obtaining the right to vote, which is such a huge and important part of our history. However, I just could not stomach the terribly negative way that domestic life is portrayed in this story. While I want my kids to learn about standing up for what you believe in and working hard for your cause, I do not want them hating housework, seeing kids as a nuisance that cramps your style or believing that men and women are equal in every way. They are not.For starters, men cannot have babies. That is a pretty big difference right there.Did Lizzie Stanton really hate her domestic life *that much*? Someone has to organize the household, even in this day and age.I am looking for other options for this topic.

I read this for school and it was wonderful. Elizabeth is spunky, travels a lot and has supporting friends. The short catchy style was fun to read, and the funny quotes were nice too. The reader follows Elizabeth from when she is a girl to when she is old and feeble. Her well known friend, Susan B Anthony is also mentioned. A great read for history lovers.

I thought this book was a good one, I really enjoyed reading it. As a woman, I feel very lucky to be living in 2010 because it must have been miserable to live the way Mrs. Stanton had to in the 1800s. I feel very grateful for women like Susan B. Anthony and Lizzie Stanton because they are the reason women have the freedom they do. If they did not stand up for the rights of women we would not be as liberated as we are today. I believe this book would be appropriate for children in the fourth through ninth grade.

Jean Fritz does a remarkable job engaging the reader in the compelling tale of one woman's life... a woman who is often overshadowed in the popular culture.Today's young girls will benefit in learning how much women of the past were much like they were AND had much fewer benefits AND how much they worked, created and moved their way towards their desired end result which we all benefit from today.Fritz' tone is amusing and highly readible while covering the important facts at hand as well.I am looking forward to having my daughter read this book so she can get to "know" Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Very interesting and motivation story. I learned a lot about the Women’s Suffrage Movement.
