Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Jan Gleiter

Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Jan Gleiter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Finally, just eighteen years after Elizabeth died in 1902, women would finally have the right to vote.
But fifty years after Elizabeth Cady Stanton's death, there were still states where married women could not own property in their own names. Seventy-five years later, there were still states where a man could have his wife commited to a mental institution on his word alone.
Today, the amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing equal rights for women has still not passed."

The quote above is from the final page of this children´s book, and although it has been almost a month since I read it, it still makes me sad. 

There still is such a long way to go till we reach equality for all, and it shouldn´t be that way. Not in this day and age.
