Social Movements

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the most important leaders of the movement to gain American women the vote. But, as Vivian Gornick argues in this passionate, vivid biographical essay, Stanton is also the greatest feminist thinker of the 19th century. Endowed with a philosophical cast of mind large enough to grasp the immensity that women's rights addressed, Stanton developed a devotion to equality uniquely American in character. Her writing and life make clear why feminism as a liberation movement has flourished here as nowhere else in the world.

La fachada del mundo se apoya en lo que Schopenhauer llama la voluntad universal, ciega y sin propósito. La voluntad nos acarrea toda nuestra miseria y todo nuestro sufrimiento. la única esperanza es la de liberarnos de su poder y de los atavíos superficiales del individualismo y el egoísmo, que están a su merced.
