This is an historic moment I didn't even know existed. I've read a lot of history here and there, but I never knew a woman ran for president in the past. Especially when only men could vote!
Abrams Books for Young Readers sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you). It's been published, so you can grab a copy now at your local bookstore.
Belva began her life trying to move a mountain. That didn't work but she still believed she could and she just took on other mountains. She was breaking glass ceilings before anyone even coined that word.
She had a busy personal life, became a lawyer (only after appealing to the President for her diploma) and she even went so far as to run for president. How can you not admire a woman like that? She ran for office despite the odds.
Even voting was different then. This was a nice historical look at a brave woman who defied the system and worked on equality in the late 1800's. She deserves to be remembered.
