Conversation with Ellen Carol DuBois, author of Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life

• Tuesday, July 14 @ 5:00 pm
• Lewes Public Library, Lewes, DE

Join Lewes Public Library, the History Book Festival, and Browseabout Books in-person at the library or online for a presentation by Ellen Carol DuBois, preeminent historian of women’s suffrage and author of Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life, the definitive biography of the American suffragist and women’s rights pioneer.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader, thinker, and organizer whose fight for women’s emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902, a full fifth of America’s history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography, DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible.

DuBois is distinguished professor of history at UCLA. Her pioneering works on the US woman suffrage movement include Feminism and Suffrage: The Emergence of an Independent Women's Movement in America, 1848–1869 and Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage. DuBois spoke at the 2020 Virtual History Book Festival on her book, Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote. She lives in Los Angeles.
