I could do that! Esther Morris gets Women the Vote by Linda Arms White, illustrated by Nancy Carpenter.2005, Melanie Kroupe Books, Farrar Straus Giroux , NY.
Husband read this to the girls last night and said, upon finishing: "You should put this book on the blog". So here it is.
This is a very cute book telling the true story of Esther Morris and the advent of the woman vote. The language is fun and accessible but it doesn't sugarcoat events.
The eighth of eleven children and six foot tall, Esther had a interesting life and courage to spare. In this time of primaries, as we breathe politics in the air, this books brings a refreshing read!
