Some seventy years later, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote, "To vote is the most sacred act of citizenship," the government of the United States still did not treat women as equals, having yet to grant them the right to vote. But sixty-four years after that Geraldine Ferraro declared, "We can do anything," and became the first American woman to run for vice president on a major party ticket. Today, surely our country is ready for a leader who, as Elizabeth Dole said, "will call America to her better nature." This captivating book illuminates the bravery and tenacity of the women who have come before us. With an engaging narrative, fascinating quotes, and elegant illustrations, it not only shows how far women have come but also reveals the many unsung roles women have played in political history. Step by step, these capable ladies have paved the way for our young leaders of tomorrow. They have enabled and empowered us to ask today: Well, why not the presidency? 650 0 $a Women in politics $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Jones, Douglas B. 941 $a 23 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525034727.0 952 $l UBPC631 $d 20231228011422.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111014229.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718082153.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629011601.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518011639.0 952 $l AHPD597 $d 20210723010445.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006032221.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20180707040940.0 952 $l LZSX115 $d 20180623032544.0 952 $l IBAX173 $d 20180307014911.0 952 $l JSSX094 $d 20171026012329.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20160220022515.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619025602.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l ZOPC437 $m J NF $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UWAX953 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l MAPA553 $m JF Thi 07 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D6E7D322B0711DE8E590108A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
