Another woman who should be remembered during Women's History Month

This is taken from the back cover of Elizabeth Cady Stanton:

In 1848, on a sweltering July day in the small town of Seneca Falls, New York, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her fellow supporters would make history. They staged the first ever women's rights convention. The convention passed Resolution 9, which said women should have the right to vote. Although this right would not be recognized in the United States until many years later, Cady Stanton had ignited a revolution. Throughout her life, Cady Stanton worked tirelessly for women's suffrage.

Written for the middle school market, author Deborah Kent explores Cady Stanton's passionate pursuit of equal rights and her lasting impact on a revolutionary movement.
