Reviews

"Although American women of the twentieth century fought for equality, civil rights, and community reform, their accomplishments have not always been highlighted in history. In her book, Carrie Floyd Cagle introduces readers of all ages to women who have changed the course of American history, allowing space for their voices to be heard and their stories to impact future generations." --Robin D. Johnson, EdD, associate professor, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi

"HERstory is as important as HIStory, and Carrie Floyd Cagle brings American women of the twentieth century to life. This important book for readers of all ages introduces women who advocated for themselves and others fighting for suffrage and civil rights, becoming role models for future generations, and entering roles previously dominated by men." --Micheal J. Kessner-McShane, EdD

"In a time when parents and teachers are searching for books that explain history to kids with a decidedly less male-centric lens, veteran educator Carrie Floyd Cagle delivers. American history becomes accessible and relevant through Cagle's straightforward, engaging exploration into the women and events that sculpted our nation throughout the twentieth century." --Jill Culmo, EdD in Education, Director, K-2 Curriculum for Dallas ISD
