What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The core topic is systemic sexism and the denial of civil rights to women. The approach is direct, historical, and secular. It presents the injustice as a factual problem that Stanton worked to solve. The book also briefly touches on the abolitionist movement. The resolution is realistic and hopeful: while Stanton's work led to eventual victory, she herself did not live to see the 19th Amendment passed, teaching a lesson about long-term change.
