Susan B. Anthony and Justice For All
Author: Jeanne Gehret, M.A. Illustrations by Jeff Lennox
Here is a fascinating look at the woman whose drive and passion for equality made such a difference in the lives of women and African-Americans.
From her early work with the abolitionists in the 1860s through her fight for women’s right to vote, Susan B. Anthony traveled widely, speaking in communities large and small, running conventions, and organizing petition campaigns. The author’s easy-to-read style reflects her storytelling as a docent at Anthony’s homestead, plus her extensive research in Anthony’s home town and elsewhere. An ideal selection for student book reports.
Through painstaking research of primary sources such as diaries, letters, newspaper clippings and Ms. Anthony’s own authorized biography, Ms. Gehret gives rare insights into the famous woman. While writing this book, she served as a tour guide of Ms. Anthony’s homestead in Rochester, NY, traveled to many of the places that Ms. Anthony frequented, and included in her book some stories that have never been documented before.
