Memory of the World Librarian: Quintus

From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up-This inspiring biography of one of the most influential feminist reformers in 19th-century America is both interestingly written and easy to follow. Sigerman chronicles Stanton's life through careful scholarship, offering quotes from her personal memoirs, letters, and autobiography while highlighting the social influences of her struggle to win the vote for women. A good portion of the book details Stanton's friendship and teamwork with fellow suffragist Susan B. Anthony. Black-and-white photographs and original documents add greatly to the appeal of this resource. A good purchase for both school and public libraries.

From Booklist Gr. 6-10. Sigerman, who has written insightfully about women in such books as Women in the American West (1998), now turns her attention to a pioneer of the women's rights movement in this volume in the Oxford Portraits series. Using primary sources (but providing no notes), she looks at the life of Stanton, who came out for birth control, voting rights, and changes in the divorce laws before any of these ideas were popular or, for that matter, even feasible. Sigerman follows Stanton from childhood, when she was first awakened to injustice, through adult life, during which she found a like-minded reformer to marry (and bore him seven children) and made a career as a crusader whose causes also included child labor and abolition. At first glance, the book's format seems a little gray; the typeface is small; and the black-and-white pictures seem a shade overexposed. Readers who look more closely, however, will find a wealth of interesting documents, including original newspaper articles, cartoons, lithographs, and photos. Researchers needing more will be helped by the extensive bibliography and list of museums and historic sites. Ilene Cooper
