| It is no secret that Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke in contradictory languages. She expressed ideals of equal rights and embraced social hierarchies, sometimes in the same sentence. She imagined an inclusive political world reshaped by diverse perspectives, yet seemed oblivious to her habit of assigning higher value to the experience of her own race, sex, and class. Stanton left a complicated legacy for cultural, political, and psychological historians to explore. |
