Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony

Up early this morning, excited that today–Feb. 9th–is the official publication date of the paperback of “Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony: A Friendship That Changed the World” with a bright new cover and bonus material, including a Q & A. Here’s my answer to the question “What inspired you to write “”Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony”: “I love compelling, significant, and underreported historical stories–especially about women. These are all things I found in the unlikely friendship of two fascinating and inspiring women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who fueled the controversial nineteenth-century fight to improve the social, civil and economic conditions of women’s lives. It is a riveting story of progress and betrayal, with a host of supporting characters that range from admirable to controversial. It is an illuminating account of democracy, citizenship, voting rights, and gender equality. In short, how could I not write this book?”
