The Ladies of Seneca Falls: The Birth of the Woman's Rights Movement Paperback - 1987

by Miriam Gurko


From the publisher

On July 13, 1848, five women conversed over tea in a small upstate New York town. The next day, the local newspaper carried their announcement inviting women to attend "A Convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of women.? A few days later, the American woman's right movement became reality. Miriam Gurko traces the course of the movement from its origin in the Seneca Falls Convention through the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote. She examines each of the movement's founders--Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, and others--to show the various backgrounds from which their feminist consciousness sprang and the unique contribution that each made to the destiny of the movement. This straightforward, comprehensive history of the early years of the woman's rights movement in America is essential background reading for anyone involved with women's studies. With 34 black-and-white illustrations
