Book Review

Seneca Falls and the Origins of the Women's Rights Movement. By Sally G. McMillen. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2008. x, 310 pp. $28.00, ISBN 978-0-19-518265-1.)

It is appropriate that Sally G. McMillen's book is in the Oxford University Press series Pivotal Moments in American History (edited by David Fischer and James McPherson), since the woman's rights convention held in Seneca Falls, New York, in July 1848 was surely a "pivotal moment." However, the American woman's rights movement of the nineteenth century is an oft-told tale, and this book closely follows the publication of Judith Wellman's The Road to Seneca Falls: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the First Woman's Rights Convention (2004), the most authoritative treatment to date of the Seneca Falls meeting. Fortunately, the two books are different enough that there can be room for both on the shelves of historians.
