Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton New York 1815-1902 New York Women’s Rights Movement Suffragist-Anti Slaver. -------- My favourite heroine a single minded kind upper crust-well educated no one manipulated. Despised the religious elite wanted them made obsolete they advocated slavery were morally unsavoury. Women they degraded all freedoms blockaded paid a pittance for work given the donkey work. Even today think women brainless untalented docile aimless they wont sit next to God he’d give them the elbow, the prod. She wrote of the Bible, "I found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch. Surely the writers had a very low idea of the nature of their god. They made him not only anthropomorphic, but of the very lowest type, jealous and revengeful, loving violence rather than mercy. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of women."
