Lively prose and lighthearted folk-art illustrations portray the life of Stanton from childhood to her presentation of the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Map, Author’s Note, Sources.

Elizabeth was the woman who fought for what she believed in. Elizabeth realized women were not given rights equal to men. In the nineteenth century, women were not allowed to attend college. Women could not own property and vote. The only things women had to do was marry, have babies, cook, and keep the house clean for their husband. I find it very interesting when Elizabeth won a prize for being the best in Greek studies and she went to college. I learned that she studied religion, math, science, French, and writing. Elizabeth gathered all the like-minded women to challenge the right to vote. Elizabeth was inspiring because she believes that women should have the right to vote. Elizabeth believes women can do man things as well. At some point, women did have a no say say in the law making process. Elizabeth knew voting was the only way to make a difference. The Nineteenth Amendment went into effect in August 1920. This story was amazing I enjoyed every detail of it. Elizabeth was the one that gave us the right to vote by fighting, she never gave up. This story was organized and well written. ( )

I bought this book for my daughter, whom I named after Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She loves having a book about ECS. We even took it into school for Women's History Month and I read it to her class. The illustration is amazing. Rebecca Gibbon who did the illustration also worked on a children's book about the women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League created by Chicago Cubs owner Phillip Wrigley during World War II. And yes, we own that one too.

ELIZABETH LEADS THE WAY: ELIZABETH CADY STANTON AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE is a cute picture book about Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her determination that women should have the right to vote. It details her life and points out the many injustices that women of that time had to face primarily because they had no say in the law making process. The book and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's life show that sometimes with enough passion, just one person (even an unlikely one like a woman in the 1800's) can begin to "change the world forever." It contains many well done illustrations and would be an excellent read during a lesson on women's rights or American history in general. ( )
