Elizabeth Started All the Trouble by Doreen Rappaport
A spirited look at the Founding Mothers, by the critically acclaimed author Doreen Rappaport and illustrator Matt Faulkner.She couldn't go to college.
She couldn't become a politician.
She couldn't even vote.
But Elizabeth Cady Stanton didn't let that stop her.
She called on women across the nation to stand together and demand to be treated as equal to men--and that included the right to vote. It took nearly seventy-five years and generations of women fighting for their rights through words, through action, and through pure determination...for things to slowly begin to change.
With the help of these trailblazers' own words, Doreen Rappaport's engaging text, brought to life by Matt Faulkner's vibrant illustrations, shows readers just how far this revolution has come and inspires them to keep it going!
Rappaport, Doreen: - Doreen Rappaport is the recipient of a Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award for her body of work. Her books have been praised for both their careful research and their varied literary styles. Among the many titles to her name are a trilogy on African-American history, illustrated by Shane W. Evans; books on Native American history and women's history; and many biographies, including Lady Liberty: A Biography, illustrated by Matt Tavares. Beyond Courage, her most ambitious project to date, took more than six years to research and write and presented her with the opportunity to speak directly with some of the survivors whose stories are told within. How Jews organized themselves in order to survive and defy their enemy is an important but still neglected piece of history, she says. I present a sampling of actions, efforts, and heroism with the hope that I can play a role in helping to correct the damaging and persistent belief that Jews 'went like sheep to the slaughter.' Doreen Rappaport lives in upstate New York.
