Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5--When the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, granting the right to vote without regard to sex, women all over the world cheered. It was a long road filled with many battles fought by individuals of strong character, great courage, and an eye to the future of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was not honored with a completed memorial until 1922 after much controversy and discussion about the location and design of the monument. Both events are detailed in these two books. As in other titles in the series, an enormous amount of complex history is broken down into highly readable and accurate text enhanced by excellent black-and-while and full-color photographs and reproductions. Valuable resources.
