Highly entertaining and enlightening.
Fritz imparts not just a sense of Stanton\'s accomplishments but a picture of the greater society Stanton strove to change.
And though she didn\'t live long enough to see Women get to vote, our entire country benefited from her fight for women\'s rights.
Luckily Lizzie wasn\'t one to let society stop her from fighting for equality for everyone.
Her father believed that girls didn\'t count as much as boys, and her own husband once got so embarrassed when she spoke at a convention that he left town.
Who says Women shouldn\'t speak in public? And why can\'t they vote? These are questions Elizabeth Cady Stanton grew up asking herself.
This biography of Elizabeth Cady Stanton is as spirited as the women\'s rights pioneer herself.
Convinced from an early age that Women should have the same rights as men, Lizzie embarked on a career that changed America.
