The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony

The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Volumes I - VI are now available for purchase as a six volume set. Together the volumes in this set offer an extraordinary collection that tells a story-both personal and public, about abolition, temperance, and woman suffrage and provides the most extensive in-depth look at the lives and accomplishments of two of America’s most important social and political reformers. Readers will enjoy over 2,000 letters, speeches, articles, and diaries excerpts transcribed from their originals, the authenticity of each confirmed or explained, with notes to allow for intelligent reading.

Volume I opens when Stanton was twenty-five and Anthony was twenty. Volume 6 concludes when first Elizabeth Cady Stanton dies on October 26, 1902, and three years later Susan B. Anthony dies on March 13, 1906. Though neither Stanton nor Anthony lived to see the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, each of them devoted fifty-five years to the cause and their names were synonymous with woman suffrage in the United States and around the world.
