Marching with Aunt Susan: Susan B. Anthony and the Fight for Women's Suffrage

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. It's 1896, and young Bessie (who is based on a real child) meets legendary suffragist Susan B. Anthony, who convinces her to participate in an upcoming suffrage rally. The wooden dialogue is unconvincing, but the historical revelations (girls and women who rode bikes used to be considered unladylike) and gouache paintings are successful at conveying setting.
