About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Gwenyth Swain is the author of more than two dozen books for young readers. A two-time winner of a Minnesota Book Award for children's nonfiction, she loves history and historical fiction. Ms. Swain runs the middle school and high school libraries at Twin Cities Academy in St. Paul. Formerly, she was a costumed history player at historic Fort Snelling, a soda jerk, and a bookstore clerk.
Grade 3-5. Stanton was a leader in the early women's rights movement, working in the 1800s with famous suffragettes such as Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott. She resolved early in life to get a good education and to prove that she was equal to any boy. Her husband's work in the abolitionist movement showed her that even people who believed that slaves should be free and have rights did not necessarily believe the same was true for women. This biography uses Stanton's letters, diaries, and reminiscences as background but relates the information in story form, resulting in a book that is enjoyable as well as informative. Black-and-white charcoal-and-pencil drawings provide a sense of the period. Swain covers only Stanton's early years and the events leading up to the Seneca Falls convention, but an afterword describes later events in her life. Jean Fritz's You Want Women to Vote, Lizzie Stanton? (Putnam, 1995) is more complete and aimed at a slightly older audience. However, The Road to Seneca Falls is a good introduction for younger readers.?Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA
