Book excerpt: Journey through the inspiring life and tireless activism of Susan B. Anthony, the fearless American social reformer and women's rights pioneer. This meticulously researched biography paints a vivid portrait of a woman who dedicated her life to achieving equality and empowerment for women in a time when such aspirations were revolutionary. Born into a Quaker family with a deep commitment to social justice, Susan B. Anthony's early years set the stage for her lifelong activism. From collecting anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17 to becoming the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1856, she showed an unwavering dedication to social reform. The pivotal moment in her journey came when she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, forging a partnership that would shape the course of the women's suffrage movement. Together, they founded organizations, including the National Woman Suffrage Association, and collaborated on groundbreaking publications like "The Revolution." Their efforts culminated in presenting the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which eventually became the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting women the right to vote in 1920. Susan B. Anthony's relentless advocacy for women's rights extended beyond national borders, as she played a crucial role in the International Council of Women and the World's Congress of Representative Women in 1893. This biography also explores Anthony's personal struggles and triumphs, from her arrest for voting in violation of discriminatory laws to her transformation from being ridiculed to celebrated. Her 80th birthday was honored at the White House, and her legacy endures as her portrait graces the U.S. dollar coin.

Download or read book Women Race Class written by Angela Y. Davis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most important scholars and civil rights activist icon, a powerful study of the women’s liberation movement and the tangled knot of oppression facing Black women. “Angela Davis is herself a woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard.”—The New York Times Angela Davis provides a powerful history of the social and political influence of whiteness and elitism in feminism, from abolitionist days to the present, and demonstrates how the racist and classist biases of its leaders inevitably hampered any collective ambitions. While Black women were aided by some activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and the suffrage cause found unwavering support in Frederick Douglass, many women played on the fears of white supremacists for political gain rather than take an intersectional approach to liberation. Here, Davis not only contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women’s rights activists, but also discusses Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and Margaret Sanger’s racism. Davis shows readers how the inequalities between Black and white women influence the contemporary issues of rape, reproductive freedom, housework and child care in this bold and indispensable work.
Download or read book To Believe in Women written by Lillian Faderman and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-06-08 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and “often quite moving” look at gay women’s role in US history (The Washington Post). In this “essential and impassioned addition to American history,” the three-time Lambda Literary Award winner and author of Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers focuses on a select group of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century lesbians who were in the forefront of the battle to procure the rights and privileges that large numbers of Americans enjoy today (Kirkus Reviews). Hoping to “set the record straight (or, in this case, unstraight)” for all Americans and provide a “usable past” for lesbians in particular, Lillian Faderman persuasively argues that the sexual orientation of her subjects may in fact have facilitated their accomplishments. With impeccably drawn portraits of such seminal figures as Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Eleanor Roosevelt, To Believe in Women “will raise eyebrows and consciousness” (Dianne Wood Middlebrook). As Faderman writes in her introduction, “This is a book about how millions of American women became what they are now: full citizens, educated, and capable of earning a decent living for themselves.” A landmark work of impeccable research and compelling readability, To Believe in Women is an enlightening and surprising read. “For those who need a dose of pride and a slice of history, Faderman’s portraits should strike a popular note. ‘To Believe in Women’ is a decent starting point for learning about these pioneers and their contributions to American life.” —The New York Times
