<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An exploration of the women's movement, with biographies of Susan B. Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Betty Friedan.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Today, feminism is as important as ever. Betty Friedan's musings, "to take the actions needed to bring women into the mainstream of American society, now; full equality for women, in fully equal partnership with men," still hold fervently true in current society. Young readers still fighting for equality today need to know how the movement began years ago, with such basics as the right to vote, the right to birth control, and the right to equal employment. Leading historian Jules Archer's account offers fascinating biographies of Susan B. Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Betty Friedan, with a full background of the political organizations they worked for and against. <p/>Forty-four percent of general American history books do not even mention the struggle for women's suffrage, and 65 percent fail to record the name of Susan B. Anthony. Even more young readers have never heard the names of Margaret Sanger and Betty Friedan. As far as most of these books are concerned, women are invisible in American history. But these women dared to defy convention, at great personal risk, for the cause of sexual and gender equality. Their stories must be remembered. With a new foreword by feminist author Naomi Wolf, <i>The Feminist Revolution</i> relies heavily on letters, diaries, and other personal forms of communication to tell the story of women's rights in this country. Part of Sky Pony Press's revitalization of the Jules Archer History for Young Readers, series, this book is a must-read introduction to the Feminist Revolution for all young adults.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Archer gives the history an exciting flourish."<br> --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"The historical impact of these women's lives is deftly presented through captivating narrative."<br> --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"In a clear and lively style consistent with the lives being described, Archer gives brief biographies of Susan B.
