Anthony offers an overview of Susan's life from growing up as a Quaker in the 1820s and 30s to a champion for women's right to vote. The prologue presents Susan as a grown woman, feisty and ready to tackle the US government for the right to vote alongside men. The following chapters highlight how various people and events impacted her sense of right and wrong, and her desire to see women as leaders in society. The back and white artwork is realistic and is helps break up larger chunks of writing, making this book appropriate for readers at varying levels of complexity. Susan's story brushes up against other notable people and topics and the book adds contextual information such as a description of who the Quakers and who Fredrick Douglas was. These bits of context are stylized as inserts and given special attention in order to highlight their significance in history. Overall, this book is a good overview on Susan B. Anthony's impact on the suffragist movement. I would have liked to see some explanation of how Susan's vision was carried out after her death in 1906. Women were granted the right to vote in 1920 and it would make sense to explain, perhaps in an insert, who carried on her vision. This book is about a school teacher who becomes a famous leader of the women's rights movement. It would be great for a history class, whenever the teacher is going over that time period. The intended audience is for middle school kids. The illustration look realistic although she has a big head on this book. While factually informative, this book does not quite live up to the standards of the Who Was... series. As I read the book, the flow seemed off and something rang a bell, "something's not right here." After this point, I specifically noted that Elizabeth (Stanton) and Susan's names are swapped at least twice. As the book progressed, I noted typos and word placement/ tense errors more frequently. Any Who Was book provides a much more in-depth lesson than standard public school history, but it's a shame that this one was so sloppy. The illustrations in this book offer visual representations of life during the late 19th and early 20th century. The images stick closely with the text, showing exactly what the words are describing within them. They show the reader what the world might have looked like through Susan B. Anthony’s perspective, and some of her experiences. These images help children to understand the somewhat advanced topics. The book offers perspective that might encourage students to compare and contrast the current and previous political climates of America. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
