Part I — The Pentateuch (1895)
Introduction
Stanton's case for the whole project: church and state alike ground woman's subordination in the Bible, so the Bible itself must be examined. She answers each class of objector in turn — the devout, the politic, and the indifferent — and states the book's core claim: these degrading ideas emanated from the brain of man, not from God.
