Myths! Lies! Secrets! Smash the stories behind famous moments in history and expose the hidden truth. Perfect for fans of I Survived and Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales.In 1920, Susan B. Anthony passed a law that gave voting rights to women in the United States. RIGHT?WRONG! Susan B. Anthony wasn’t even alive when the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified. Plus, it takes a lot more than one person to amend the constitution.The truth is, it took millions of women to get that amendment into law. They marched! They picketed! They even went to jail. But in the end, it all came down to a letter from a state representative’s mom. No joke.Through illustrations, graphic panels, photographs, sidebars, and more, acclaimed author Kate Messner smashes history by exploring the little-known details behind the fight for women’s suffrage.Don’t miss History Smashers: The Mayflower!
Praise for the History Smashers series:“Critical, respectful, engaging: exemplary history for children.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ”The book’s format may be a good match for those with shorter attention spans, and permits it to be gratifyingly capacious in what it covers.” —New York Times Book Review “Well-researched, entertaining, and packed with facts.” —Booklist“Messner and Meconis provide a timely perspective on an important part of American history.” —School Library Journal“A history book for middle-graders that should be on everyone’s (child and adult) to-read list.” —Shelf Awareness“Kate Messner serves up fun, fast history for kids who want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Absolutely smashing!” —Candace Fleming, award-wining author“Informative and fun, eye-opening and entertaining. I wish I could have read History Smashers when I was in elementary school. I would have devoured them and developed a big appetite for even more of this sort of truth-telling.” –Chris Barton, award-winning author
