Luke-warm retelling of a historical figures' life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Hardcover)
The story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton is an important part of the education of young children. This book is useful in that it relates the story of her childhood, but, the conclusion was weak and the reader is left feeling discouraged-this little girl excels in everything she tries, unfortunately, because of the time period is excluded from higher education. We find out that she married and had a lot of children and was still able to find time to help other women and she worked hard to change the way women and children were treated by society. We are given no insight into what changes she was an important part of-I came away from the book understanding very little of what she actually did. Just a few sentences discussing the legislation and laws she was intimately involved in changing, just saying she was an important figure in the women's movement and actively worked for the right of women to vote and to be treated equally, would go a long way towards making this a truly illuminating book.
