Free Kindle Heart On Fire: Susan B. Anthony Votes For President ebooks Download
On November 5, 1872, Susan B. Anthony made history--and broke the law--when she voted in the US presidential election, a privilege that had been reserved for men. She was arrested, tried, and found guilty: "The greatest outrage History every witnessed," she wrote in her journal. It wasn't until 1920 that women were granted the right to vote, but the civil rights victory would not have been possible without Susan B. Anthony's leadership and passion to stand up for what was right.

Heart on Fire is a beautifully written and illustrated story of Susan B. Anthony’s long going struggle to win one of the most important rights a U.S. Citizen can have: the right to vote. In 1872 she cast her illegal vote for president after using logic to persuade the men at the polling place; by reading them the 14th Amendment to the Constitution which gave African American men the right to vote after the Civil War: “All person born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction there, are citizen of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizen of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdictions the equal protection of the laws. Anthony reasoned that woman were also included in this amendment as citizens and therefore should be able to vote as well. Shortly after her vote was cast she was arrested for unlawfully voting. Sadly, she didn't live to see the passing of the 19th amendment in 1919 finally giving women the right to vote, but her continued diligence helped change history.

Do the young women , girls, in your life know the journey women have made over the last 100+ years which have brought them the right to vote, attend college, become doctors, etc? I think this is a book that every parent or grandparent who has a young girl in their lives needs to share with them.Susan B. Anthony is one of those women who risked everything on November 5, 1872 when she cast her ballot for president of the United States. She broke the law and was tried and convicted. Every woman should appreciate her courage and perseverance , as well as the other women involved, who did not give up until the 19th Amendment became law and women had the right to vote on August 18, 1920.This story shows the struggle these women had and it should help us appreciate the privilege we have to vote.
This was a very enjoyable, accurate, account of the events surrounding Susan B. Anthony's act of civil disobedience: casting a vote. The illustrations are obviously based on contemporary photos and portraits. This would serve as a good introduction to Anthony's work.The formatting for the digital version is awful. I wasn't allowed to view it in the Kindle Cloud Reader, so had to read it on my iPad. The magnifying tool doesn't work for this book. The text was so small, even when "tapped" that I had to practically put my nose on the book!
