The Publisher Says: History has rarely been told from a woman’s point of view.

Good Girls Don’t Make History is an important graphic novel that amplifies the voices of female legends from 1840 to the present day. 

Reliving moments from the lives of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, and Susan B. Anthony, these inspiring stories are boldly told from one of the most formative eras in women’s history—the fight for the vote in the United States.

The tale begins at a modern-day polling station in California with a mother and daughter voting together, then flashes back 180 years to the World Anti-Slavery Convention where the women's movement got its legendary start.

The twists and turns take readers across the country and through time, illuminating parallels between epic battles for liberty in the past and similar struggles for justice today.

A powerful and important examination of some key figures in the ongoing fight for equality, Good Girls Don’t Make History’s accounts of bravery, perseverance and courage are truly inspiring for readers of any age.

I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.

My Review
: "It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the union...men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less."
                                                                                                                                 Susan B. Anthony
What better way to start a story about why voting matters, what it cost to extend the vote to women, and the long, long struggle of slightly more than half of Humanity to get a bare minimum of representation at the tables where the powerful decide how far they can shove the weak without reigniting 1789's fires.

What makes a good graphic novel? A novel, in its essence, is meant to take the reader on a deep and careful examination of some emotional state, physical event, or social reality. What makes a graphic story successful is the way that novel is told: one can't readily imagine a visual take on Gravity's Rainbow, or if you can, do share how it would work. Some interior stories aren't necessarily good as artwork. This story...a mother takes her tween daughter with her to vote, encounters a long, long wait, and takes the bored, restless youngster on the story-journey of how it came to be that US women got their right to vote for the people who govern them.

Micaela Dawn presents the stories with economy and energy. It's a lovely story, told competently and aimed at its eight-and-up audience, represented by lovely artwork showing the selected scenes from the past and present in enough detail to make them interesting and without cramming too much visual stimulation into the frame with the words telling the story.

Here is a representative passage:



To my mind, the best marriage of medium to message and talent to task. I think our grand/daughters need to see and absorb this message so they will know what we are fighting for when we work to protect voting rights. ( )

This well executed book makes it quite clear that the issues of women's suffrage is both historical and ongoing. While this is not news to some of us, it is definitely news to today's young citizens of the world. Very engaging format and appropriate to the target readers. WELL DONE!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions / Wide Eyed Editions via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )

Synergy: Women’s History

Women’s history studies the role females played in history. This includes how women and their perspectives are (or aren’t) represented in standard historical references. Specifically, women’s history includes their struggle for equality and freedom along with recognition for contributions overlooked by traditional historical sources.

Read the recently published work of graphic nonfiction, then learn more at the website.

GOOD GIRLS DON’T MAKE HISTORY by Elizabeth Kiehner, Kara Coyle, and Keith Olwell is a powerful and visually stunning work of graphic nonfiction. Young adults will immediately connect with the contemporary issues of voter suppression including long lines to vote. Through short, focused vignettes, readers learn about women’s history while also exploring larger issues of enslaved people, indigenous people, and others facing challenges to their human rights. Weaving in lesser known stories along with well-known turning points, the graphic history includes images and references to primary source documents and quotes from key figures.

The WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE TIMELINE from the National Women’s History Museum contains dozens of key events in women’s history. The website also includes resources for students and educators along with biographies, articles, and online exhibits.
