In Her Own Right by Elisabeth Griffith
"In Her Own Right" explores the life and impact of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a pivotal figure in the early women's rights movement in the United States. The book delves into Stanton's role as a feminist pioneer who challenged the legal and societal norms of her time to advocate for women's suffrage, property rights, and personal autonomy. Through detailed research and comprehensive analysis, the biography not only highlights Stanton's significant contributions to the movement but also examines her personal life, her partnership with Susan B. Anthony, and her often controversial views that intersected with issues of race and class.
