The Lost Diaries of Elizabeth Cady Stanton | Sarah Bates
1823: It is a time when a wife's dowry, even children, automatically becomes her husband's property. Slavery is an economic advantage entrenched in America but rumblings of abolition abound. For a young woman to confront this culture is unheard of, yet that is exactly what Elizabeth Cady does. When she becomes a leader of the women's rights movement, her secret diaries threaten to discredit her. She destroys them, but are they really lost to history?
