Description
"Ellen DuBois . . . brings to this volume . . . her special insights as the
Chief interpreter of post-Civil War feminism. . . . She has made Anthony and Stanton accessible to present-day readers, letting them speak
for themselves and helping us to see them more clearly in a new light."
-Gerda Lerner
The history of American feminism is often identified with the Seneca
Falls convention of 1848 and the demand for woman suffrage first
voiced there. This is the first comprehensive survey of the historical
contributions of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the organizer of the convention and the author of the demand for woman suffrage, and Susan B.
Anthony, her co-worker of a half-century. Through the long years of
their leadership, Stanton and Anthony insisted on the idea that to be
free and equal, women must join together politically, to control the
impact of law and government on their lives. Although the right to
vote was won more than ninety years ago, current political conflicts-over the ERA
and abortion-demonstrate the continued relevance of Stanton's and
Anthony's political message for American women.
Most of the twenty-one selections from the writings and speeches of
Stanton and Anthony that appear here have never before been available
to the general reader. Ellen DuBois has provided historical commentary
for these materials.
ELLEN DUBOIS is associate professor of history and American studies at
the State University of New York at Buffalo, and is the author of Feminism and Suffrage. - from Amzon
