Sisters

"Books have extolled their accomplishments and noted their sacrifices. For the first time, historian Jean H. Baker tellingly interweaves these women's private lives with their public achievements. As only a biographer can, Baker presents these revolutionary women in three dimensions, humanized, and approachable: Stone the martyr and missionary; Stanton the antireligious individualist; Anthony the activist lesbian; Willard the organizational mastermind; Paul the militant feminist. Finally, these formidable founding mothers of American feminism have been introduced as the sisters they were to one another, and as they must be remembered by the feminists who follow in their footsteps."--BOOK JACKET.
