2009 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Elizabeth Cady Stanton
(1815-1902) was not only one of the most important leaders of the
nineteenth century women's rights movement but was also the
movement's principal philosopher. Her ideas both drew from and
challenged the conventions that so severely constrained women's
choices and excluded them from public life. In The Political
Thought of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sue Davis argues that Cady
Stanton's work reflects the rich tapestry of American political
culture in the second half of the nineteenth century and that she
deserves recognition as a major figure in the history of political
ideas. Davis reveals the way that Cady Stanton's work drew from
different political traditions ranging from liberalism,
republicanism, inegalitarian ascriptivism, and radicalism. Cady
Stanton's arguments for women's rights combined approaches that in
contemporary feminist theory are perceived to involve conflicting
strategies and visions. Nevertheless, her ideas had a major impact
on the development of the varieties of feminism in the twentieth
century. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, The
Political Thought of Elizabeth Cady Stanton draws on a wide variety
of primary and secondary sources and promises to fill a gap in the
literature on the history of political ideas in the United States
as well as women's history and feminist theory.
