Elizabeth Cady Stanton, History of Women’s Suffrage (1848-1861)

I only read a small part of this work - it's a monumental overview.

You can dip into it here: http://womensarchives.blogspot.com/2011/03/history-of-woman-suffrage-vol-1-1848_9904.html

You can also get copies of her magazine, *The Revolution* here: http://womensarchives.blogspot.com/

What struck me was how familiar the arguments in the first chapters were.

* Women can do anything men can do. Here are some female high achievers!
* But also women value different things and have a different culture!
