520 |a "This comprehensive biography of Susan B. Anthony traces the life of a feminist icon, bringing new depth to our understanding of her influence on the course of women's history. Beginning with her humble Quaker childhood in rural Massachusetts, taking readers through her late twenties, when she left a secure teaching position to pursue activism, and ultimately tracing her evolution into a champion of women's rights, this book offers an in-depth look at the ways Anthony's early life experiences shaped who she would become. Drawing on countless letters, diaries, and other documents, Kathleen Barry offers new interpretations of Anthony's relationship with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and illuminating insights into Anthony's views of men, marriage, and children. She paints a vivid picture of the political, economic, and cultural milieu of nineteenth-century America. And, above all, she brings Susan B. Anthony vividly to life. Here we find a powerful portrait of this most singular woman - who she was, what she felt, and how she thought. Complete with a new preface to honor the hundredth anniversary of women's suffrage and Anthony's vital role in the fight for voting rights, this thorough biography gives us essential new insight into the life and legacy of an enduring American heroine."--Back cover
