The Woman's Bible
The Woman's Bible (1895-1898) is a work of religious and political nonfiction by American women's rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Despite its popular success, The Woman's Bible caused a rift in the movement between Stanton and her supporters and those who believed that to wade into religious waters would hurt the suffragist cause. Reactions from the press, political establishment, and much of the reading public were overwhelmingly negative, accusing Stanton of blasphemy and sacrilege while refusing to engage with the book's message: to reconsider the historical reception of the Bible in order to make room for women to be afforded equa…

Über den Autor
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.
