This biography is really informative, and well written. Diane Eickhoff recounts the life and fight for women's rights of Clarina Nichols. Through Clarina's life, Diane Eickhoff also portrays how women were living at that time, their rights, their lack of rights, as well as their difficulties.

I have read a lot of books about women's history in the US and I don't remember hearing much about Clarina Nichols. That's a shame, because she was apparently an important figure in the suffrage movement and during the first wave of feminism. I really enjoyed learning about her life. This book is well-written, engaging and provides a good amount of detail about Ms. Nichols and all that she accomplished to push women toward equality. The writing style is more like a novel, which would make it more appealing to younger people. If you have an interest in this period of history, I highly recommend this book.… (mer)

An exciting story about an early leader in abolition and women's rights, one who, for that matter, continued to support black male suffrage even after it became clear that women's suffrage was being sacrificed for fear that both could not pass at once. Far too few people can name more 19th century women's suffragists than Susan B. Anthony and perhaps Elizabeth Cady Stanton (maybe Sojourner Truth at a stretch, but passing familiarity with her is more likely to include only her status as an escaped slave and abolitionist). When I requested this book from ER, I didn't realize that it was a YA adaptation of a fuller length adult biography that had come out ten years before, and I didn't figure it out until I was halfway through the book and discovered a bookmark advertising the line of YA history books. Without knowing it was meant for YA, I found the prose a bit simplistic, but once I realized the intended audience, it made sense and the style seemed appropriate. I hope to have time to read the adult version, Revolutionary Heart, soon, but this was certainly worth reading once.… (mer)
