Even a cursory glance at the letters, speeches, and essays of
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) and Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)
reveals that these two nineteenth-century feminists relied on
Biblical and folk proverbs to make their relentless case for the
equality of men and women before the law and in social interaction.
All Men and Women Are Created Equal investigates the use and
function of this proverbial language in their personal relationship
and their vast correspondence, the appearance of the proverbial
rhetoric in their many speeches and essays, and their innovative
employment of proverbial quotations from such documents as the
Declaration of Independence to further their cause. It also looks
at how proverbs in their traditional wording or as innovatively
changed pieces of wisdom were used to argue both for equal pay and
education of women and to overcome the misogyny of the established
church. A final chapter looks at how the Biblical proverb "Do unto
others as you would have them do unto you" became a powerful verbal
tool to justify their rightful call for equal rights for women.
These interpretive chapters are followed by a large index of
proverbs and proverbial expressions that are listed in their
rhetorical contexts with precise information as to their source and
date. Both parts together tell the story of Stanton's and Anthony's
lives and work by way of enlightening proverbial paragraphs dealing
with women's rights.
