In 1848, thirty-three-year-old Stanton and four others organized the first major womens rights meeting in American history. Together with Susan B. Anthony, her partner in the cause, she led the campaign for womens legal rights, most prominently woman suffrage, for the rest of the century. In those years, Stanton was the movements spokeswoman, theorist, and its visionary. In addition to her suffrage activism, she was a pioneering advocate of womens reproductive freedom, and a ceaseless critic of religious misogyny. As the mother of seven, she also had pronounced opinions on womens domestic responsibilities, especially on raising children. Written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Paperback;337 pages.
