About this book

"The Woman's Bible" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton is a two-part non-fiction book published in 1895 and 1898. Written with a committee of 26 women, it challenges traditional religious interpretations that position women as subservient to men. Stanton sought to promote a liberating theology emphasizing self-development by reinterpreting biblical passages about women. The work sparked intense controversy, becoming a bestseller while alienating many suffragists who feared it would harm their cause. Even close allies formally denounced it, effectively ending Stanton's influence in the suffrage movement.
