Thomas F. (hardtack) - , reviewed on 12/20/2017 + 2573 more book reviews

I agree with some of the other reviewers that parts of this book dragged, but others hopped along at a fine pace. Over all, it is a very good book and more young women, and men, should read it. I was happy my favorite American female, Dolly Madison, even received her two or three pages, even though she made her remarkable presence after the American Revolution.

One surprise to me was New Jersey allowed women to vote as of 1776. I always thought that honor belonged to Wyoming much later. Unfortunately, a 'packed' ballot box in one New Jersey county, with more ballots than eligible women voters, allowed male legislators to change the state's constitution in 1807.
