Favorite Part My favorite part is when Charlotte votes. I like that part because she is the first women to vote. She thinks in her mind will my one vote count for anything. I like this scene because after all those years of dressing like a boy she votes like a women.

Facts and Opinions Charlotte was an orphan in a boy’s orphanage. She had three friends Vern, Hay, and Freedom. She loved horses and wanted to own a ranch. Charlotte is a great women hero. Hay is very brave to speak up for Charlotte. Freedom was an incredible horse and should not have died.

Book Recommendation This book is about a remarkable women hero and her life. The thing I would change is her best friend and her did not by one point like each other. How could they not like each other when they had been friends at a small age?! This book inspires young girls and women that we are as equal as men.
