Childish yet enjoyable. Definitely an indication of the time it's from. 4 ⭐.

Unfortunately, this biography of Susan B. Anthony did not cover in any detail the most significant events of her life: her work with women's rights. This book covers her childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, mentioning only briefly what her life's work ultimately is about. I was expecting more, so I'm disappointed!

This book was very interesting to read about the start of women's rights and the woman who lead the charge. Learning about her childhood was interesting to see the different causes she fought for besides women's rights. The pictures, especially by the end where very nice and helpful.

I liked the concept of this book- it was cute to see how the author spun a tale of Susan’s childhood based on her adult life. Was I super impressed? No, but I might still save it for a future homeschool study.

I'm disappointed that there aren't any biographies of Anthony on Audible. This was ... fine. And would have been enjoyed if I were in the right age range. I read this as a comparison with the Temple Grandin bio

A short middle-grade book about Susan B Anthony's early years. I would have liked more about the rest of her life too.

I loooooved this entire series when I was growing up. I read this one with my kids and my elementary-aged ones thought it was delightful.

The book details Susan B. Anthony's life from age 6 until death in 1906. However, the book does not give a great deal of attention to her movement for Women's rights. It barely mentions the Women's rights convention at Seneca Falls and again at the Chicago World Fair. Both are mentioned in the same chapter. No details of the convention or even the speeches. No lead up or preparation for either convention. Although the book read easily, it was a disappointment.

Interesting to see what Susan B. Anthony was like as a child.

[Ryan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Weird. 99% is what Susan's interactions may have been like as a kid. Then in one or two pages sums up the rest of her life. Weird historical fiction!

[Skyler Paulsen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author explained how Susan made stuff well, like the making of the bread.
