Though the Declaration of Independence stated that &“all men are created equal,&” married women and girls in the early days of the United States had few rights. For better or worse, their lives were controlled by their husbands and fathers. Married women could not own property, and few girls were educated beyond reading and simple math. Women could not work as doctors, lawyers, or in the ministry. Not one woman could vote, but that would change with the tireless efforts of Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Jeannette Rankin, Alice Paul, and thousands of women across the nation. Rightfully Ours tells of the century-long struggle for woman suffrage in the United States, a movement that began alongside the abolitionist cause and continued through the ratification of the 19th amendment. In addition to its lively narrative, this history includes a time line, online resources, and hands-on activities that will give readers a sense of everyday lives of the suffragists. Children will create a banner for suffrage, host a Victorian tea, feel what it was like to wear a corset, and more. And through it all, readers will gain a richer appreciation for women who secured the right to fully participate in American democracy—and why they must never take that right for granted. Kerrie Logan Hollihan is the author of Isaac Newton and Physics for Kids, Theodore Roosevelt for Kids, and Elizabeth I, The People's Queen. She lives in Blue Ash, Ohio.

With the intolerable deterioration of our moral fabric, bringing us to the point that right is wrong and wrong is right, a dire necessity exists not only to curtail such regress but to set things on the proper course. The heart, which governs morality of human thought and action, is summoned to act as the guide out of this rut and onto the path of righteousness and fair treatment of each other. In the pursuit of truth and justice, the Moral Code, which is comprised of the Last Six Commandments, the "Friend" Rule, the Golden Rule, and the "Spare the Rod Spoil the Child" Rule, is therefore proposed as the "just" Rule of the Land. This then is utilized as the foundation to achieving morally correct conclusions or courses of action to social problems, issues or difficulties that we encounter, especially in these morally trying times. An important application of this concept is in our governance. The good heart has guided us to an amazing conclusion that the ideal form of government is that which is based on the Moral Code, the ideal Rule of the Land, and Participative Democracy, the ideal form of democracy which completely satisfies the requirements, of the people, by the people and for the people; rather than the form of government based on the Legal Code, a flawed and harmful code set, and Representative Democracy, a faulty, dangerous and costly imitation of Participative Democracy. We, the people, are therefore urged, by this revelation, to wake up from this detrimental governmental slumber and empower ourselves by declaring independence of the current system and by instituting the ideal form of government. This land belongs to us and to no one else, and its future rests solely on our participation in this overwhelming but absolutely necessary endeavor. Wake Up! Rise Up! Participate!
