The Most Powerful Words about Women's Rights Janey Levy

Today, women can have careers in fields such as medicine, engineering, and politics, but it wasn't always that way. Women couldn't even vote when the United States was founded. Readers of this powerful volume will discover the history of women's rights through the words of women who fought for them, including Abigail Adams urging her husband to Remember the Ladies, Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Declaration of Sentiments, Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, and the contemporary #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. Vivid images support this empowering narrative, and sidebars, fact boxes, and a graphic organizer enhance the reading experience.
