THE LOST DIARIES OF ELIZABETH CADY STANTON

Meer over het boek

Set in Johnstown, New York, in 1823, the narrative explores the oppressive societal norms where a wife's dowry and children are considered her husband's property. Against this backdrop, the story delves into the complexities of slavery as an economic institution, while hints of abolitionist sentiments begin to challenge the status quo. The historical context highlights the struggles for personal autonomy and the emerging fight for freedom, making it a compelling examination of gender and social justice during a transformative era in American history.
