Contents Letter from Elizabeth Cady Stanton -- Introduction: the "radical conscience" of nineteenth-century feminism -- "What do you women want?" -- "The pivot of the marriage relation" -- "Divorce is not the foe of marriage" -- The "incidental relation" of mother -- Raising "our" girls? -- Conclusion : "still many obstacles" -- Acknowledgments
Summary "Thomas explores Stanton's philosophies and proposals for women's equality in marriage, divorce, and maternity, and reveals that the campaigns for equal gender roles in the family from the 1960's and '70's had nineteenth-century roots. Applying feminist legal theory, Thomas argues that Stanton's positions on family equality were strikingly progressive, providing parallels and solutions to the issues confronting women today."--Provided by publisher
