Elizabeth Cady Stanton ; introduction by Ellen Carol DuBois ; afterword by Ann D. Gordon

"The autobiography of women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, with an updated introduction and afterword from noted scholars of women's history Ellen Carol DuBois and Ann D. Gordon. The lively mind and sharp wit of Elizabeth Cady Stanton come through clearly in her memoir, Eighty Years and More, which conveys all the passion and intelligence that made her a guiding force in the fight for women's rights. As she once said of herself, 'I feel it to be my special mission to tell people what they are not prepared to hear, instead of echoing worn-out opinions.'"--Jacket
