9780813523217 English 0813523214 "Their Place Inside the Body-Politic" is a phrase Susan B. Anthony used to express her aspiration for something women had not achieved, but it also describes the woman suffrage movement s transformation into a political body between 1887 and 1895. This fifth volume opens in February 1887, just after the U.S. Senate had rejected woman suffrage, and closes in November 1895 with Stanton s grand birthday party at the Metropolitan Opera House. At the beginning, Stanton and Anthony focus their attention on organizing the International Council of Women in 1888. Late in 1887, Lucy Stone s American Woman Suffrage Association announced its desire to merge with the national association led by Stanton and Anthony. Two years of fractious negotiations preceded the 1890 merger, and years of sharp disagreements followed. Stanton made her last trip to Washington in 1892 to deliver her famous speech Solitude of Self. Two states enfranchised women Wyoming in 1890 and Colorado in 1893 but failures were numerous. Anthony returned to grueling fieldwork in South Dakota in 1890 and Kansas and New York in 1894. From the campaigns of 1894, Stanton emerged as an advocate of educated suffrage and staunchly defended her new position.", Their Place Inside the Body-Politic, 1887 to 1895 closes with Elizabeth Cady Stanton's grand, eightieth birthday party at the Metropolitan Opera House. Susan B. Anthony, just five years younger, shared the stage with her. Despite their age, these pioneers maintained positions of leadership in an international reform movement increasingly dominated by younger people. It was not easy, but the papers of Stanton and Anthony from the years 1887 to 1895 offer evidence of the suffrage movement's transformation into a political body. The volume opens just after the U.S. Senate voted against a constitutional amendment for woman suffrage. Defeat in that arena did not end suffragists' focus on Washington: the National Woman Suffrage Association convened the International Council of Women there in 1888; Stanton delivered her famous speech "The Solitude of Self" on Capitol Hill in 1892. But rejection of a federal amendment stirred interest in winning women's right to vote by the action of states. Southerners pressed for national resources to organize their states. Wyoming gained statehood with woman suffrage in 1890, and for the first time anywhere, voters in Colorado approved votes for women in 1893. Elsewhere hard work was met with failure. Anthony returned to grueling fieldwork in a South Dakota campaign of 1890, and she helped campaigns in Kansas and New York in 1894. Though Stanton preferred to lead by writing from the comfort of home, she too joined the New York campaign. Early in 1895, she began to publish the commentaries that would become her Woman's Bible. Ann D. Gordon is a research professor in the department of history at Rutgers University. She is the editor of this six-volume series., When Clowns Make Laws for Queens, 1880 to 1887 is the fourth of six planned volumes of The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The entire collection documents the friendship and accomplishments of two of America's most important social and political reformers.At the opening of the fourth volume, suffragists hoped to speed passage of a sixteenth amendment to the Constitution through the creation of Select Committees on Woman Suffrage in Congress. Congress did not vote on the amendment until January 1887. Then, in a matter of a week, suffragists were dealt two major blows: the Senate defeated the amendment and the Senate and House reached agreement on the Edmunds-Tucker Act, disenfranchising all women in the Territory of Utah.As evidenced in this volume's selection of letters, articles, speeches, and diary entries, these were years of frustration. Suffragists not only lost federal and state campaigns for partial and full voting rights, but also endured an invigorated opposition. In spite of these challenges, Stanton and Anthony continued to pursue their life's work. In 1880 both women retired from lecturing to devote attention to their monumental History of Woman Suffrage. They also opened a new transatlantic dialogue about woman's rights during a trip to Europe in 1883.
