Contact seller5-star seller16pp. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. GOOD condition. Several fold creases present, with other general wrinkling. Minor toning and scattered soiling in the interior. Early issue of the Revolution, a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbu…ry. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony, whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press, as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women, along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed, creating a rift in the abolitionist movement, as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them, they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train, a Democrat who supported women's rights, but was openly racist. As the name indicates, The Revolution adopted a combative, radical tone, with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage, and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869, the paper broke with Train, who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It was published until 1872, struggling to make expenses along the way. This issue contains "Peter and Paul in the Toledo Convention," by Elizabeth Cady Stanton; a short piece on Mormons and the Revolution (journal), profiling T.B.H. Stenhouse and accompanied by a short commentary by Susan B. Anthony stating, in part "The Mormons are with us. Will not the Christians now fall in? Is Utah the first to give women suffrage?" and mentioning Stenhouse pays a subscription to the Revolution despite a trading agreement between his paper and the Revolution. Another piece by Anthony is present: "Union of Sorosis and the Press;" many short pieces on women's rights and suffrage work, including a piece titled "Woman Suffrage for Utah," referring briefly to Mormons in the state, etc.
