Book excerpt: Elizabeth Yates was a fighter. She was determined to become a writer even as a young child. Belonging to an affluent family in Buffalo, NewYork, her parents took for granted that Elizabeth would make her debut in the city's high society. She wanted none of that. It was quite a struggle to go against the wish of her parents, but her persistence finally won. She was then allowed to go to New York City to begin her life as a writer. Her marriage to William McGreal took her to England where she spent ten years traveling and writing articles for various magazines. Her first book was published in England. The war and Bill's failing eyesight brought them back to the United States. They settled on a small farm near Peterborough, New Hampshire. Her most famous book Amos Fortune, Free Man, won her the prestigious Newbury Medal. Besides writing around fifty books, her interests reached out in many directions. Because of her husband's blindness, Elizabeth became quite active in the Association for the Blind. The gift of her land to the State is now enjoyed by many as Shieling Forest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among nineteenth-century women’s rights reformers, Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902) stands out for the maternal and secular advocacy that shaped her activism and public reception. A wife and mother of seven, she was also a prolific writer, transatlantic women’s rights leader, popular lecturer, congressional candidate, canny historian, and freethought champion. Her lifelong interest in women’s sexual and reproductive rights and late efforts to reform institutional religion are as relevant to our time as they were to her own. Stanton’s professional life lasted a half-century, ranging from antebellum women’s rights organization and oratory, to a post–Civil War career as a lyceum lecturer, to a late-century role as an incisive religious and cultural critic. Acutely aware of the medical, religious, legal, and educational barriers to women’s independence, she advocated for married women’s right to vote, obtain a divorce, gain custody of their children, and own property. As she grew more radical over the years, she also demanded judicial reform, the separation of church and state, free love, progressive coeducational opportunities, and women’s right to limit their fertility. In this richly contextualized collection of primary sources, Noelle A. Baker brings together accounts of Stanton’s life and ideas from both well-known and recently recovered figures. From the teacher chiding an assertive young woman to erstwhile allies worrying about her growing radicalism, their voices paint a vivid portrait of a woman of vaunting ambition, powerhouse intellect, and her share of human failings.
