Susan B. Anthony's fight for women's suffrage is documented in accessible free verse that focuses on her November 1872 arrest for voting and her 1873 trial. At times the realistic illustrations (mostly portraits) verge on caricature. Text of the Fourteenth and Nineteenth Amendments introduce the story. An author's note and archival reproductions provide more information. Bib.
