EXPLORES THE DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT AND ACTION IN WOMEN'S INVOLVEMENT IN
19TH-CENTURY REFORM MOVEMENTS.
Though Susan B. Anthony is best remembered for leading the campaign
for women's suffrage, she worked in multiple movements for equality
beyond women's right to vote, including antislavery, Native American
rights, temperance, and labor reform. In doing so she forged alliances
with other activists to forward a broad social justice agenda, but she
also faced opposition from these reformers on how best to achieve this
goal.
_Susan B. Anthony and theStruggle for Equal Rights_ explores the
diversity of women's activism in nineteenth-century American reform
movements, focusing on how Anthony and other women reformers shaped
those movements and our memories of them. The essays here chart the
long career of Anthony in this rich historical context of women's
activism and display the efforts of a wide variety of women, and the
challenges they faced, in the continued struggle for equality.
