Description
They Shall Be Heard describes the work of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton for the women’s suffrage movement.
When Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton first met in the early 1850s, women in America are considered little more than the property of men. The two women dedicate themselves in the struggle for equality in America and build a lifelong friendship in the process.
In 1851, Susan B. Anthony, a well-known abolitionist, started working with Stanton. Anthony managed the business affairs of the women’s rights movement while Stanton did most of the writing. Together they edited and published a woman’s newspaper, the Revolution, from 1868 to 1870. In 1869, Anthony and Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association where Stanton served as president. They traveled all over the country and abroad, promoting woman’s rights.
Kate Connell is a published author of several children’s books. Some of her published credits include: They Shall Be Heard: Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Stories of America), The Early Colonial Adventures of Hannah Cooper (I Am American) and Yankee Blue or Rebel Gray: The Civil War Adventures of Sam Shaw.
Barbara Kiwak is a published illustrator of several young adult and children’s books. Some of her published credits include: They Shall Be Heard: Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Stories of America), My Name Is Bilal (Hardcover Edition) and Jazz Age Poet: A Story About Langston Hughes (Creative Minds Biographies).
Alex Haley, as General Editor, wrote the introduction.
