The author focuses her tale on Susan B. Anthony’s act of civil disobedience when she illegally voted in the 1872 presidential election.  Susan believed that the new law, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which included rights for all citizens, obviously meant women.  She was arrested, tried and fined $100.  The story ends informing the reader that she never went to jail or paid her fine.  The Author’s Note provides the bigger picture of this women’s life long journey (over 48 years) to pass a women’s suffrage amendment.  She died at age 86, thirteen years before Congress finally passed such a law.  Her motto throughout…”Failure is impossible.”  Being well researched and written in moving free verse with vibrant painted illustrations makes this a great choice for read alouds.  Back Matter includes a Selected Bibliography and primary source images.
