Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Weiss Vollstadt has worked as a writer, editor, and teacher. History was never her favorite subject until she discovered women's history and could see herself in their lives. Her earliest published stories for children featured strong brave girls in history-some real, some fictional-who weren't afraid to stand up for themselves and others. Elizabeth is delighted to share this story of the 1848 Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention with today's girls. She lives in New Jersey, not far from Philadelphia, where she is now researching true stories about women during the American Revolution. Her other books include Young Patriots: Inspiring Stories of the American Revolution, a collection of short stories, co-authored with Marcella Anderson, and two contemporary novels for preteens-Pairs on Ice and Pairs at Nationals.
