The inspiring story of her life will give children a vision of a strong woman who from childhood worked for fairness and justice. The warm, sensitive, detailed illustrations will appeal to young children.

"A beautifully written story about one of the great women of America. Children will enjoy it and girls will be inspired by it. Boys, we hope, will ask some questions, as they should!" -- Molly Yard, President, National Organization for Women.
