Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, Volume 6
Preparation for print publication of the final volume of the Stanton-Anthony edition. (24 months)
The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony is a six-volume edition of the most important papers of two leading nineteenth-century Americans, chosen from the comprehensive collection published in 1991. Rutgers University Press has published five volumes of the Selected Papers. This proposal describes work on the sixth and final volume of this series. With documents from December 1895 to March 1906, this volume will treat the deaths of both women--Stanton in 1902, Anthony in 1906. In U.S. history, Stanton and Anthony are best known as agitators for woman suffrage. Their interest in that cause and strength to fight for it endured until the weeks before their deaths. To the ends of their lives, both women were also astute observers of the nation's political life, and their views on everything from bicycles to war were sought by the press.
