Summary:

"Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader, thinker, and organizer whose fight for women's emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902, a full fifth of America's history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible"--Jacket.
