What Charlotte Found at Seneca Falls: A Story of the First Woman's Rights Convention - Hardcover

by Elizabeth Weiss Vollstadt (Author), Vivian Saad (Illustrator)

Imagine being a young woman in 1848, frustrated by the limitations placed on your life because you were a woman. How thrilling it would be to read that a woman's rights convention was being planned at a village near your home! Charlotte Woodward, living in a small town in upstate New York, felt that thrill. She was in her late teens, sewing gloves to earn money for herself and her family. She hated the work, but had no other choice, as there were few occupations open to women. With a heart "beating in rebellion," she attended the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention. She didn't think it would change her life, but it did. Find out how in this story.
