Stanton is best remembered for organizing the Seneca Falls convention at which she first called for women's right to vote. Yet she spent the last two decades of her life working for another cause: women's liberation from religious oppression. Stanton came to believe that political enfranchisement was meaningless without the systematic dismantling of the church's stifling authority over women's lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1895, she collaboratively authored this biblical exegesis, just as the women's movement was becoming more conservative. Stanton found herself arguing not only against male clergy members but also against devout female suffragists. Kathi Kern demonstrates that the \u003ci\u003eWoman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e itself played a fundamental role in the movement's new conservatism because it sparked Stanton's censure and the elimination of her fellow radicals from the National American Woman Suffrage Association. \u003ci\u003eMrs. Stanton's Bible \u003c\/i\u003edramatically portrays this crucial chapter of women's history and facilitates the understanding of one of the movement's most controversial texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathi Kern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801431913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801431913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2001 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2001 pg. 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 746","brand":"Kathi Kern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799431459071,"sku":"9780801431913","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mrs-stantons-bible-kathi-kern-9780801431913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
