In the School of Anti-Slavery, 1840-1866 is the first of six
volumes of The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan
B. Anthony. The collection documents the lives and accomplishments
of two of America's most important social and political reformers.
Though neither Stanton nor Anthony lived to see the passage of the
Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, each of them devoted fifty-five years
to the cause. Their names were synonymous with woman suffrage in
the United States and around the world as they mobilized thousands
of women to fight for the right to a political voice.
Opening when Stanton was twenty-five and Anthony was twenty, and
ending when Congress sent the Fourteenth Amendment to the states
for ratification, this volume recounts a quarter of a century of
staunch commitment to political change. Readers will enjoy an
extraordinary collection of letters, speeches, articles, and
diaries that tells a story -- both personal and public -- about
abolition, temperance, and woman suffrage.
When all six volumes are complete, the Selected Papers of
Stanton and Anthony will contain over 2,000 texts transcribed from
their originals, the authenticity of each confirmed or explained,
with notes to allow for intelligent reading. The papers will
provide an invaluable resource for examining the formative years of
women's political participation in the United States. No library or
scholar of women's history should be without this original and
important collection.
