Susan B. Anthony

Just before bedtime, I saw my daughter reading a book titled, "Susan B. Anthony: Fighter for Women's Rights" by Carol Ghiglieri (and illustrated by Antonio Castro). It is part of the Easy Reader Biographies series. I think this is a worthwhile series that brings to life for young people various significant figures in American history. I like it when my kids read, and I especially like books that directly relate to each of my two kids. The Susan B. Anthony book does directly relate to my daughter by talking about a signficant woman who overcame huge obstacles to make the laws protect all segments of society. My daughter, and others, could learn a lot from Susan B. Anthony.
