About the Author:
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) was a leading light of the women's rights movement in the late nineteenth century. Besides The Woman's Bible she also helped to compile the History of Woman Suffrage. With Lucretia Mott she organized the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, NY, and with Susan B. Anthony founded the National Woman Suffrage Movement.
Review:
"Elizabeth Cady Stanton is undoubtedly a central figure in nineteenth-century American history. Her autobiography, and her career, express in uniquely feminist perspective some of the era's central themes, including the struggles for equal rights and individual autonomy. This powerfully written book is essential reading for anyone who would understand not only the origins of the women's rights movements, but the nature of American society in Stanton's era." University -- Eric Foner, Columbia University

Few autobiographies are able to retrieve a world we have lost. Even fewer have the power to evoke the greatness of their subject. Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Eighty Years and More does both and much more -- Joyce Appleby, University of California at Los Angeles
