Product Review
"A superbly readable and historically accurate account of perhaps the most audaciously intelligent American woman in nineteenth-century America. It's the best Stanton biography we're likely to see."--The Women's Review of Books
"Griffith's biography brings to life a remarkable personality who had the courage and drive both to pioneer a new role and to stake out the new intellectual territory needed to sustain it."--Harvard Law Review
"A well-rounded biography that does full justice to this truly extraordinary woman."--The New York Times
"At last there's a biography of Stanton worthy of its subject. Like Stanton herself, the book is feisty, intelligent, articulatefull of the concrete reality of this feminist heroine's life."--Betty Friedan
Product Description
The first comprehensive, fully documented biography of the most important woman suffragist and feminist reformer in nineteenth-century America, In Her Own Right restores Elizabeth Cady Stanton to her true place in history. Griffith emphasizes the significance of role models and female friendships in Stanton's progress toward personal and political independence. In Her Own Right is, in the author's words, an "unabashedly 'great woman' biography."
