This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Byers Memorial Outstanding Publication Award from the University of Akron Law Alumni Association Much has been written about women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Historians have written her biography, detailed her campaign for woman’s suffrage, documented her partnership with Susan B. Anthony, and compiled all of her extensive writings and papers. Stanton herself was a prolific author; her autobiography, History of Woman Suffrage, and Woman’s Bible are classics. Despite this body of work, scholars and feminists continue to find new and insightful ways to re-examine Stanton and her impact on women’s rights and history. Law scholar Tracy A. Thomas extends this discussion of Stanton’s impact on modern-day feminism by analyzing her intellectual contributions to—and personal experiences with—family law. Stanton’s work on family issues has been overshadowed by her work (especially with Susan B. Anthony) on woman’s suffrage. But throughout her fifty-year career, Stanton emphasized reform of the private sphere of the family as central to achieving women’s equality. By weaving together law, feminist theory, and history, Thomas explores Stanton’s little-examined philosophies on and proposals for women’s equality in marriage, divorce, and family, and reveals that the campaigns for equal gender roles in the family that came to the fore in the 1960s and ’70s had nineteenth-century roots. Using feminist legal theory as a lens to interpret Stanton’s political, legal, and personal work on the family, Thomas argues that Stanton’s positions on divorce, working mothers, domestic violence, childcare, and many other topics were strikingly progressive for her time, providing significant parallels from which to gauge the social and legal policy issues confronting women in marriage and the family today.

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. This book is a captivating journey through the life of an indomitable spirit who paved the way for generations of women to come, leaving an indelible mark on history and the fight for gender equality.
Download or read book The Woman s Bible written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Woman’s Bible (1895-1898) is a work of religious and political nonfiction by American women’s rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Despite its popular success, The Woman’s Bible caused a rift in the movement between Stanton and her supporters and those who believed that to wade into religious waters would hurt the suffragist cause. Reactions from the press, political establishment, and much of the reading public were overwhelmingly negative, accusing Stanton of blasphemy and sacrilege while refusing to engage with the book’s message: to reconsider the historical reception of the Bible in order to make room for women to be afforded equality in their private and public lives. Working with a Revising Committee of 26 members of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Stanton sought to provide an updated commentary on the Bible that would highlight passages allowing for an interpretation of scripture harmonious with the cause of the women’s rights movement. Inspired by activist and Quaker Lucretia Mott’s use of Bible verses to dispel the arguments of bigots opposed to women’s rights and abolition, Stanton hoped to establish a new way of framing the history and religious representation of women that could resist similar arguments that held up the Bible as precedent for the continued oppression of women. Starting with an interpretation of the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, Stanton attempts to show where men and women are treated as equals in the Bible, eventually working through both the Old and New Testaments. In its day, The Woman’s Bible was a radically important revisioning of women’s place in scripture that Stanton and her collaborators hoped would open the door for women to obtain the rights they had long been systematically denied. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s The Woman’s Bible is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
Download or read book The Suffragents written by Brooke Kroeger and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold Medalist, 2018 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the U.S. History Category Finalist for the 2018 Sally and Morris Lasky Prize presented by the Center for Political History at Lebanon Valley College The Suffragents is the untold story of how some of New York's most powerful men formed the Men's League for Woman Suffrage, which grew between 1909 and 1917 from 150 founding members into a force of thousands across thirty-five states. Brooke Kroeger explores the formation of the League and the men who instigated it to involve themselves with the suffrage campaign, what they did at the behest of the movement's female leadership, and why. She details the National American Woman Suffrage Association's strategic decision to accept their organized help and then to deploy these influential new allies as suffrage foot soldiers, a role they accepted with uncommon grace. Led by such luminaries as Oswald Garrison Villard, John Dewey, Max Eastman, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and George Foster Peabody, members of the League worked the streets, the stage, the press, and the legislative and executive branches of government. In the process, they helped convince waffling politicians, a dismissive public, and a largely hostile press to support the women's demand. Together, they swayed the course of history.
