About This Item
New York: European Publishing Co, 1898. First Edition. hardcover. Very good. 1st edition. Signed by Stanton, in ink, on the endpaper. Rare signed (RBH says no signed copies at auction, and logs only one signed copy sold in the trade and that was 37 years ago). Original cloth, 5 pinholes to title (whatever was pinned there is now gone), small bookplate, rubbing to the extremities else a bright, very good copy. Cloth case. Stanton was the organizer and leader of the 1848 women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, the first such convention in the U. S. and the birth of the American women's movement. Her signature is in the wavering hand of the period (she was 86), but it is undeniably authentic, and dated (in another hand) "Aug 29-‘01" a year before she died.
