In 1881, three writers and rights activists, Susan B. Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage, came together to
publish the first volume in their groundbreaking History of Woman
Suffrage series - a series that eventually went on to fill 5700
pages and lend weight to a movement that changed the course of
history for ever. Taking its dedication from the first volume of
the History - to the memory of pioneering women whose 'earnest
lives and fearless words... have been, in the preparation of these
pages, a constant inspiration' - this volume collects together four
essays that give an insight into the work as a whole, and provide a
rounded introduction to the history of women's suffrage on both
sides of the Atlantic.
In its third edition this accessible and engaging collection of the
writings of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony provides a
critical overview of the lives, ideas and activism of two founders
of the American feminist tradition. Introductory material has been
extensively revised to reflect recent scholarship and provides
historical context to selected letters, speeches, articles,
reminiscences, arguments before courts, state legislatures and
Congress. Of particular interest is new material concerning Cady
Stanton's relationship with Frederick Douglass and Anthony's with
Ida B. Wells.

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.
