The Women’s Bible: Christianity and Suffragists

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the most notorious leaders of the women’s rights movements in the 19th century, was effectively blacklisted from the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. Her crime? Writing The Woman’s Bible, a feminist critique of the Bible. Mallory Page’s research will explore the relationship between women’s rights movements and Christianity in the late 19th century. While some suffragists were empowered by Christianity, others, like Stanton, criticized it for its sexist teachings.
