Ms. Bausum gives a face and heart to the subjects she chooses, challenges readers to ask the tough questions, and writes with breathtaking clarity. Her fresh presentation of subjects we thought we knew is sure to engage readers young and older. The thoughtful book design of "Unraveling Freedom" delivers layers of extra meaning. Even the endpapers--The NY Times headline/photo of the sinking of the Lusitania and the NY Times headline/photo of the attack on the Twin Towers--add meat to this wonderful book. Fantastic review!

It's required in my YA Lit course, not only because it is a brilliant and engaging book, but because my graduate students simply don't know anything about the 70-year fight for women's right to vote. Bausum's a great writer, and a great researcher. I need to put in a plug here for With Courage and Cloth.
