Lois W. Banner

4.9/5 (30893 ratings)

Description:Lucid and concise, the analytical biography is the first scholarly study of the famed nineteenth-century feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Lois W. Banner focuses on Cady Stanton's ideology, her role in the women's rights and suffrage movements, and her psychology as wife and mother. Based on many hitherto unutilized, unpublished manuscript collections, Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Radical for Woman's Rights casts important new light on Cady Stanton's life and her relationships with her husband, her lifelong friend, Susan B. Anthony, and her sometime political ally, Victoria Woodhull.Born in 1815 in Johnstown, New York, Elizabeth Cady married politician and abolitionist Henry Brewster Stanton and was a devoted mother to their seven children. A renowned orator, Cady Stanton dedicated her long life to speaking, writing, and political action on behalf of the numerous reform causes that swept the nation in the nineteenth century — woman's suffrage, liberalized divorce, married woman's rights, temperance, abolition, dress reform, birth control, and anticlericalism.Stanton's activities brought her into contact and conflict with many of the other great reformists of her day, among them Henry Ward Beecher, Horace Greeley, Victoria Woodhull, Lucy Stone, and Henry Blackwell. With Lucretia Coffin Mott she organized the path-breaking convention for women's rights in Seneca Falls in 1848, which formally launched the modern feminist movement. Subsequently, Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony founded the radical woman's rights journal Revolution. Together they planned a number of woman's rights organizations and lobbied on convention platforms and before legislative and congressional committees for a variety of woman's causes. With Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Jocelyn Gage, Cady Stanton wrote the three-volume History of Woman Suffrage, a collection of documents that reveal the complexity and strength of the nineteenth-century woman's movement. In her later years, Cady Stanton grew more concerned with the antifemale bias prominent in organized religion. Her last work was the Woman's Bible, a radical feminist commentary on the scriptures.As Oscar Handlin notes in his preface, Cady Stanton "bore a vision of liberation that she expressed in a unique and vigorous fashion." She upheld and promoted that vision all the way to teh tie of her death in 1902.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
