This was a great book and I gave it 5 stars. I read this book in one day, it is only 240 pages. It is quick, enjoyable and knowledgeable.
When I started reading this I thought it was a second book in a series and I found myself checking God Reads to make sure it wasn't. Once I realized it wasn't a sequel I was able to breeze through it.
This book is about the first meeting for Women's suffrage and how it came about in the view of a young girl.
Bridie/Phoebe is an orphan who is sent to help a family for two weeks but ends up running away because the father is mean.
She befriends a another girl, Rose, who is colored. Rose helps her find a job with Mrs. Stanton who has unique ideas. Mrs. Stanton is well off and doesn't care who you are or how important.
She works with Mrs. Cady and others to put together a convention for the women in the town in Seneca Falls, New York. These ladies were important for the start of the rights we have now.
I enjoyed the way the author wrote this story so that the younger reader can get to know how thing about for women.
At the end of the book there is a historical section that tells you more about what was true and what was made up. Most of the events were true and only a few of the people were fake.
I highly recommend that you read this book and have the younger children this even if they are male.
