Charlotte Parkhurst was raised in the mid-1800s and was expected to live her life without the freedoms she dreamed of. But Charlotte was smart and determined, and she figured out a way to live her life the way she wanted. She became an expert horse rider, a legendary stagecoach driver, and the first woman ever to vote—at a time when such things were outlawed for women.

Critic reviews

"[An] ebullient and tautly structured novel that moves along at a gallop." (Publishers Weekly)

"The author provides a compact and exciting story about real people who exemplify traits that readers admire. A concluding note tells more about the historical facts surrounding Parkhurst's life, but kids will read it just for the adventure." (School Library Journal)

Captivating Story • Historical Background • Lovely Narrator • Educational Content • Excellent Reader • Inspiring Heroine

This is a story well worth listening to. The narrator is lovely and the historical background for the foundation of the story at the end is wonderful. I am so grateful I chose this quick listen. I love that I know this historic fact about the right for women to vote.

I listened to this with my 9 and 10 year old daughters on a road trip and it was a great story. The girls really loved the history of it and it sparked some great conversations about how things "used to be." I would highly recommend this for a car ride with the family!

Loved it!
