Heart on Fire
Susan B. Anthony Votes for President
In this true story based on primary documents, Susan B. Anthony marches to her local polling station in November 1872 to cast her vote for president and other candidates for office. She believed the new Fourteenth Amendment allowed for the women's vote, but many people disagreed. After all, New York State did not allow women to vote in the 1870s. She was arrested for illegal voting and put on trial the following year. With impressive illustrations by artist Steve James, Anthony's lifelong fight for her equal rights for women is brought to life in this nonfiction story for young readers.
