Seller's Description:
Near Fine. First edition. Octavo. 474, [2] ads (including for *The Woman's Bible*) pp. Frontispiece of Stanton and 10 additional portraits. Dark green cloth titled in gilt. Very faint spot on frontispiece, very good or better. Inscribed by Stanton: "Mrs. Irene Smith Brynton Compliments of the Author. Geneva, N.Y. Sept. 8th 1899. Every citizen born under our flag has a right to all the advantages of education the country affords. The assertion that the working classes are more useful and happy in ignorance is false." Stanton's memoir is divided into two parts: the first covers her childhood, marriage, and family life; while the second focuses on her career as a women's rights activist. She discusses her involvement in the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, and her work advocating for women's suffrage, property rights and education. She also provides fascinating insights into the political and social climate of the tie, including the debates and disagreements within the women's rights movement.
