The book Locked up for freedom by Heather E. Schwartz is a nonfiction text which tells an unbelievable story about a group of girls who survive through the worst times in 1963. They were locked up for fighting for their rights as free women. They only had one shower for more than thirty people. They had overflowing toilets with human feces pouring out but they survived the worst of it to see how their world would change for the better. The book has many photos that tell the story about how it was, it also had captions to help explain the photos. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars (for a nonfiction book) because of how much it pulled me in with the intriguing thought of what life was like for people protesting for their right to be actually free.
