Women used to have few rights. All the important decisions in their lives were made by men. They could not vote and give their opinion on who should run the country. By the middle of the 19th century, more and more women were starting to ask why not? These are the stories of five trailblazers who achieved amazing things in difficult circumstances: Elizabeth Cady Stanton began campaigning for women's rights when she was refused entry to a convention because she was a women. Susan B Anthony cast her vote knowing she'd be arrested. Clementina Black organized a strike at a factory that paid women low wages. Carrie Chapman Catt travelled the world promoting the need for women's suffrage. Emmeline Pankhurst led a march along Downing Street in London, petitioning the vote for women. Many of the rights women have today are down to their actions. They helped change society's image of women forever.

      Gr 4-6-These titles are filled with the stories of extraordinary women who by dint of their courage, intellect, creativity, and tenacity revolutionized their professions or other realms of influence. However, the women's histories, while significant, are given inadequate treatment. The design will be off-putting to students: the books include long blocks of texts with illustrations that appear only every few pages and no headings. Most of the images are awkward-looking modern-day paintings or collages, with few period photos. VERDICT Skip these volumes.

      The series profiles American and British women--e.g, Emmaline Pankhurst (Suffrage) and Betty Friedan (1960s)--who challenged their era's social norms. Contextualized with period quotations, the readable volumes cover the suffrage movement, the fight for civil liberties, sexism in the workplace, and socioeconomic issues. Scarcely illustrated (more photographs would be helpful), these are adequate surveys of period activists. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
