5.0 out of 5 stars Rights for Women, November 19, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Time For Courage (Dear America Series) (Paperback)

This book was very high on my list of Dear America books. It is about Womens right to vote and all the hardships they went through. If you are agirl and like knowing how you got alot of freedoms and rights. You can also see who got those freedoms and what they went through to get them. Some even risked their lives. This is a very good read.
