Autorenporträt

Born in Jonestown, New York, in 1815, Elizabeth Cady Stanton lived in Boston, Seneca Falls, NY, and NYC, where she died at the age of 87. Growing up with the knowledge that girls didn't count for much, for over a half of a century Stanton devoted her life to attaining equality for women. Of her long-standing relationship with Susan B. Anthony, she said, I forged the thunderbolts and she fired them. An instrumental figure in securing women's right to vote, and one of the first to wear bloomers, Stanton was an outspoken proponent of equality in the United States.
