Back to book
Part II — Joshua to Revelation (1898)
Appendix
Letters, comments, and the repudiation
The book's remarkable coda: letters and comments from across the movement — Frances Willard, Mary Livermore, Elizabeth Blackwell, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Josephine Henry and more — answering whether the Bible has advanced or retarded women's emancipation, in every register from devout to devastating. Then the document that made history: NAWSA's 1896 resolution disavowing the book, and Susan B. Anthony's speech from the chair against it — 'This year it is Mrs. Stanton; next year it may be me or one of yourselves.'
