Illustrated in full color. Just in time for the presidential election comes
Caldecott medalist Emily Arnold McCully's stirring tale of a young girl's act
of bravery inspired by the great Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It is the fall of
1880, and Cordelia is more interested in horse riding than in hearing her
neighbor, Mrs. Stanton talk about her fight for women's suffrage. But on
Election Day, Mrs. Stanton tells the heart-wrenching story of her childhood.
Charged with the story's message, Cordelia determines to go with Mrs. Stanton
to the polls in an attempt to vote--above the jeers and taunts of the male
crowd. With faces, landscapes, and action scenes brought to life by McCully's
virtuosic illustrations, Cordelia's turning-point experience is sure to inspire
today's young girls (and boys) everywhere.
