What Is The Women’s Rights Movement?

Found a really great book read this time!  

 “What Is The Women’s Rights Movement?”by, Deborah Hopkinson, is one of the books in the New York Times Best-Selling Series, Your Headquarters for History, published by Penquin Workshop.  

I was drawn to the book by the very captivating cover……caricatures of 9 outstanding women in our history.  The 107-page book opens by explaining just “What is the Women’s Rights Movement?” and from there it explores short, but very informative chapters about women such as: Abigail Adams, Elizabeth Cady, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Blackwell, Mary Church Terrell, Jane Addams, Cary Chapman Catt and up to modern times, ending with Hillary Clinton.

I thought I knew everything about the women’s movement, but having stumbled upon this little gem of a book, I realized I needed to know and learn more. Each page is a gift and full of interesting details.  Not only does the book look at our history, addressing facts about women in key positions in government and the private sector, it also makes some predictions for the future. 

At the end of the book is a Time Line of the ‘Women’s
Rights Movement as well as a Time Line of The World.

This book is definitely meant to share with friends, family and young girls everywhere especially during this celebratory period of our history.
