I received a complimentary copy of Ride for Rights from the author, but this does not affect my honest review.Ride For Rights spurred a feeling of pride in me of the women who came before and the sacrifices they made to win equality for women. Ms. Chevrestt sprinkles historical figures and events throughout the story to display these pioneering women, but it was in a very subtle way; there was no "textbook" feel, but although very educational, it was simply a plain good story!I believe my favorite part was when the girls were arrested in  Dodge City by a Sheriff that questioned the young ladies morals, and ethics; I was appalled when the girls were jailed and their basic rights were taken away, but this was also such a funny scene that it softened the incident, which would still make it enjoyable for younger readers...The writing flowed smoothly, and the action was maintained steadily throughout, not allowing for any disinterest in the reader. there was a little romance in the story but was done in such a way as not to distract from the main point of the book.I recommend this book for everyone that has an interest in history, Educators and Teen/Adults
