I learned a lot about someone who I had never heard of before reading. Elizabeth Stanton was from a time that many people believed boys were better than girls. Elizabeth’s farther certainly believed this to be true as well. In this book her farther say’s it a lot that he wished Elizabeth would have been a boy. Elizabeth had a brother named Eleazar who took after his dad and went to law school to become a lawyer. The story goes on explaining how Elizabeth is finding out that most women are not allowed to do most things such as vote, go to college, and in some places they couldn’t even own their own property. Elizabeth was a strong-minded woman and wanted to change that for the world and her. She knew that women had the power just like men to do all of these things women cannot. So one day Elizabeth enrolled as a student at Troy Female Seminary where she studied botany, logic, geometry, French, chemistry, piano, and history. The determined women that Elizabeth is she eventually helped organized the nation’s first women’s rights convention that was in New York. After that Elizabeth was on the road to successes for equality for women. ( ) From childhood Elizabeth Cady Stanton was always opinionated, testing the limits, and doing her own thing. This resulted in her getting into trouble often but she did not care. At a young age, her older brother died and her father would make comments like, "why could you not be a boy." This was the spark, Elizabeth wanted to prove from that moment on that she could be just as good as any boy. She pushed through schooling and continued to go to higher education. She was discouraged when she was not allowed to attend college but eventually found a college that was all girls. Stanton was an advocate for many issues during her lifetime, many in which she was looked down or differently because of. Her biggest accomplishment was her role in the women's rights movement. She would not take no for an answer! I think that this book is a great book for students to read because it shows them how to persevere. Elizabeth had to go through many rough times in her life and she only let them add the fuel to her fire. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
