About This Item
New York: G.P.Putnam, 1864. Book. Good. Cloth. 8vo. New York: Putnam, 1864. First edition, later printing. 8vo. Cloth binding, 464 pp. plus 2 pp. advertising. "Hannah Thurston ... the daughter of Quaker parents, has herself been brought up a Quaker, but has strayed beyond the limits prescribed by George Fox and Robert Barclay, and can hardly be said to be a Quaker at all. She has made humanity her God, and philanthropy her worship. She has devoted herself body and soul to the assertion of woman's rights, and insists that woman has a right to be treated as a man, to enter public life, or to enter any public career, as a man, or to vote or be voted for as a man. She is, or wishes to be, a man-woman, and to force all men to recognize and respect her manly claims..."--Brownson's Quarterly Review, July, 1864. Slant to binding. Chipping top and bottom of spine. Spine faded. Good..
