Sobre este artículo
New York, NY Oxford University Press, 1985. Paperback First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only fairly heavy tanning to the pages, due to aging and the mildest rubbing. The binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 268pp. University Press Paperback. Dr. Griffiths has written a thorough, well-researched biography on Elizabeth Cady Stanton that both presents the facts of her life and a rich understanding of the psychology and world-view of this terrifically important woman in American history. Dr. Griffith's prose is fluid, readable, and to the point. I was only sorry that she didn't fully discuss the fact that the Cady family owned at least one slave, Peter Teabout, during Stanton's childhood years. A discussion of this and it's relationship to Stanton's abolitionist sensibilities; her objections to passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the US Constitution; and the difference between her father as a slave-owner and her cousin, Gerrit Smith, a prominent abolitionist; by a scholar of Dr. Griffith's caliber would have been extremely interesting. A brilliant book about a brilliant freedom fighter. A must read for advocates of social change and equality. Elizabeth Cady Stanton's life is showed before us in plain and mostly unbiased way. Not enough is talked about in regards to why Stanton was so unhappy with the extension of the right to vote to black men. It could have explained that while that passage was giving (much needed) legal protection to black men, that they only counted for 5% of the population. She advocated for women's rights to vote before the latter because she would instead be enfranchising 50% of the population - from white women, past slaves, native americans etc... For her, women's rights came before every other cause she championed. People ought not forget, however, that she was a champion of abolitionism.
