Review

For several reasons this book has made a timely appearance given the current election. Alice Paul is portrayed as a brave, adventurous and intelligent leader of the National Woman's Party. Her efforts to earn women's right to vote is undeniable. Young readers may appreciate the historical content but it will be the lovely page designs and period dress that will attract attention. This biography provides insight into an important movement within the USA. Add to primary grade media centers and public library collections of picture book biography.

It is somewhat distressing that no mention was made of the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument in Washington D.C. it would have been appropriate to list the monument as a place to visit.

Overall Book Score: very good
