Women Rebels,
This review is from: They Led the Way (Paperback)
In doing research for my book in progress on women resisters to authority in the 19th century, I ran across this charming book. It really encourages young people to think for themselves and stand up for what they believe. It includes a few women you've heard of, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Clara Barton, and some you may not have heard of, such as Phyllis Wheatley and Ernestine Rose. All these women were incredibly brave and suffered because of their beliefs. The book also encourages children to think about the ideas of justice for all and equal rights. For girls, it provides excellent role models; for boys, encouragement to think of females as people who can be brave and courageous. The illustrations by Deanne Hollinger are exquisite. I love this book!
