Summary

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)

Inspirational story based on true events

While the heroine of this story would make a wonderful role model for all young people she is probably most meaningful for girls and young women. Her determination and strength of character led her to shed the shackles of servitude and, overcoming adversity, live her life in a way that was true to herself.
