'An entertaining and informative picture book.'-Midwest Book Review

'Carpenter and Fotheringham set the stage for dramatic and interactive read-alouds with the repetition of a phrase of resistance (“Well, not everyone”), sourced dialogue, and well-placed illustrations.'-School Library Journal A fine tribute as 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.'-Kirkus Reviews Extras include facts about these suffragists and Lady Liberty, a timeline, bibliography, author's note, and dialogue sources. Bold, colorful, energetic illustrations capture time and place well. The clipped prose and vigorous efforts of the stalwart women promote fast-paced reading and dramatize some particulars of the momentous celebration.

This lively account of the events should appeal to readers interested in the Statue of Liberty or women's history. At the time, real women had few freedoms. ' When unveiled in New York Harbor in 1886, the statue of a woman became the symbol of American liberty. ' This inspirational story of three women who refused to take no for answer should clearly resound with today’s climate of protest and the centennial of the 19th Amendment’s ratification.'-Publishers Weekly
