"writing equal parts biography and autobiography, gornick nicely combines a fascinating intellectual history of susan b. anthony's somewhat lesser known comrade with her own story of feminist awakening and inspiration."
"This is a quest tale about a woman realizing her true self through activism. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is frequently represented as Susan B. Anthony's comrade-in-arms who stayed home with the babies while Susan did the crusading. Yes, the woman was a baby machine for a time (seven children) but she was an uncompromising truth-teller. In reality, as she said, "I forge the thunderbolts and Susan launches them," with those thunderbolts becoming increasingly more radical and far-reaching.
What she lacked in tact, she made up for in intellectual courage. She was threatening because her views challenged the supposed security and structure of middle-class living. Many of her ideas were ahead of their time. I understand the uproar against her advocating divorce on the grounds of incompatibility because she essentially was advocating knocking the crutches away from women who did not yet have the laws, education, and mindset to know how to walk unaided. With the The Woman's Bible, she was insightful enough to see that mindsets would need to change, including those religiously determined, before the laws would change.
A lot of great thinking packed into 132 pages. A quick and worthy read on the intolerability of inequality."
