- Description
- The story of how the women's rights movement began at the Seneca Falls convention of 1848 is a cherished American myth. The standard account credits founders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott with defining and then leading the campaign for women's suffrage. In this book Lisa Tetrault demonstrates that Stanton, Anthony, and their peers created and popularized this origins story during the second half of the nineteenth century in response to internal movement dynamics as well as the racial politics of memory after the Civil War. The founding mythology that coalesced in their speeches and writings provided younger activists with the vital resource of a usable past for the ongoing struggle, and it helped consolidate Stanton and Anthony's leadership against challenges from the grassroots and rival suffragists.

- Description
- The author studies how a group of affluent white women from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries advanced the status of all women through acts of philanthropy. Motivated by their own experiences with sexism, and focusing on women's need for economic independence, these benefactors sought to expand women's access to higher education, promote suffrage, and champion reproductive rights, as well as to provide assistance to working-class women. In a time when women still wielded limited political power, philanthropy was perhaps the most potent tool they had.

- Description
- In this history of women's antislavery petitions addressed to Congress, Zeske argues that by petitioning, women not only contributed significantly to the movement to abolish slavery, but also made important strides toward securing their own rights and transforming their own political identity. By analysing the language of women's antislavery petitions, speeches calling women to petition, congressional debates and public reaction to women's petitions from 1831 to 1865, she reconstructs and interprets debates over the meaning of female citizenship.
