Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Feminist As Thinker by Ellen Carol Dubois

More than one hundred years after her death, Elizabeth Cady Stanton still stands - along with her close friend Susan B Anthony - as the major icon of the struggle for women's suffrage. This title reintroduces, contextualizes, and critiques Stanton's numerous contributions to modern thought.

"I picked up this book wondering what, if anything, even these formidable scholars could tell me about Elizabeth Cady Stanton that I hadn't already readI put it down in awe;with a new appreciation of Stantons brilliance, originality, and complexity as the intellectual genius behind the first wave of feminism. Her 19th century vision resonates for everyone in 21st century America." - Lynn Sherr (ABC News) "It is high time to respect Elizabeth Cady Stanton as a founding thinker and actor in the shaping of American society, politics, and ideas. This fascinating book enriches our understanding by giving us her own most eloquent words accompanied by the wise evaluations of some of our leading historians and writers." - Linda K. Kerber,author of No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies: Women and the Obligations of Citizenship "The editors are, therefore, successful in their aim: like her or not, Stantons ideas should be studied by any serious feminist, historian or student of democracy at large." (Feminist Review) "The selected documents give a taste of Stantons often-contradictory ideas and successfully demonstrate how they evolved over time under the influence of contemporary intellectual movement. This work provides a solid basis for deeper investigations into Stantons role as a nineteenth-century feminist thinker." (Choice)
