    Elizabeth Cady Stanton

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) was a leader of the U.S. women’s rights movement. Born to a powerful New York family, Stanton was raised by a conservative father and progressive mother. Although both of her parents were politically active—her father was a congressman and later a New York Supreme Court justice; her mother was a campaigner for abolition and women’s suffrage—Stanton, who excelled in school, gravitated toward the radical politics of her mother as she entered adulthood. In 1848, she was instrumental in establishing the Seneca Falls Convention on women’s rights, where she controversially demanded that white American women be granted the right to vote. In 1851, she met Susan B. Anthony, with whom she established several organizations to campaign for abolition and women’s suffrage, shifting during the war to a platform advocating for voting rights to be granted to African Americans and women before opposing the Fifteenth Amendment on the grounds that it afforded African American men the right to vote while denying women the same privilege. After the Civil War, Stanton, alongside Anthony, formed the National Woman Suffrage Association, branching off from the larger suffrage movement to advocate for the right for white women to vote. Despite this controversial decision—she was widely criticized by members of her own movement as well as such prominent African Americans as Frederick Douglass—Stanton remains a crucial figure in the history of women’s rights in the United States.

      A look at the women of the Bible and their stories, by a group of women in the early 20th century. The stories they select are interesting, and ones that are often paid little attention to, and the commentary is lively. The book is somewhat dated, and many of the commentary actually demonstrate a high level of moralizing that is only slightly less puritanical than the Christian writers of the day. This is a good reminder that many of the women who were working for women's suffage actually wanted the vote so they could vote for restrictive laws based on a version of morality that had become the accepted version of the day, based on little more than personal distaste for "loose women", "obscenity", and the demon rum. The book is easy to read, and it's fun to look through the commentary that puts another spin on the stories. It reminds you of women in the Bible that weren't as popular as the ones we hear about al lthe time, and puts into perspective the inherent sexism that oozes from the book so many people swear by, but have never actually read. Recommended highest for those that wll never be willing to read it.
