Part of the Oxford Pivotal Moments in American History series - covers the nascent women’s rights movement up to the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, and then the subsequent efforts to attain rights through the 1890s. Centers around four leading women in the movement: Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Caddy Stanton, Lucretia Coffin Mott, and Susan B. Anthony. A chapter on the social, legal, political, and religious realities for women is followed by one on the Convention, and then the split of the movement and eventual reunification. Special attention is paid to the movement’s relation to the abolition and temperance movements. Some talk of birth control and prostitution, and a sex scandal. Annoying habit of only referring to the major four women by their first names. no reviews | add a review
