Despite its popular success, \u003ci\u003eThe Woman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e caused a rift in the movement between Stanton and her supporters and those who believed that to wade into religious waters would hurt the suffragist cause. Reactions from the press, political establishment, and much of the reading public were overwhelmingly negative, accusing Stanton of blasphemy and sacrilege while refusing to engage with the book's message: to reconsider the historical reception of the Bible in order to make room for women to be afforded equality in their private and public lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorking with a Revising Committee of 26 members of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Stanton sought to provide an updated commentary on the Bible that would highlight passages allowing for an interpretation of scripture harmonious with the cause of the women's rights movement. Inspired by activist and Quaker Lucretia Mott's use of Bible verses to dispel the arguments of bigots opposed to women's rights and abolition, Stanton hoped to establish a new way of framing the history and religious representation of women that could resist similar arguments that held up the Bible as precedent for the continued oppression of women. Starting with an interpretation of the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, Stanton attempts to show where men and women are treated as equals in the Bible, eventually working through both the Old and New Testaments. In its day, \u003ci\u003eThe Woman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e was a radically important revisioning of women's place in scripture that Stanton and her collaborators hoped would open the door for women to obtain the rights they had long been systematically denied.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's \u003ci\u003eThe Woman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLongtime leader of the American women's rights movement Elizabeth Cady Stanton, with the help of a committee of 26 other activist women, composed this work of nonfiction as a commentary on the Bible's portrayal of women. \u003ci\u003eThe Woman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e, an immediate and controversial bestseller, is recognized today as a groundbreaking work of feminist Biblical scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722168832096,"sku":"9781513218861","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/MkE0R3graXJaWVBheWlUbFR4Mk1YUT09.webp?v=1777107280","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-womans-bible-hardcover","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
