Published in two parts in 1895 and 1898, and written by Stanton with a committee of twenty-six other women, The Women's Bible challenges the tradition of religion that woman should be subservient to man. Stanton introduced a radical, women's theology, that stressed independance and self development. The book attracted a great deal of controversy and antagonism in it's time, and became a run away bestseller. It remains to this day a standard text in Women's Studies.

The Classic Woman's Bible, written by famous 19th Century feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a "Revising Committee," is one of the first attempts by women to evaluate the Judeo-Christian legacy and its impact on women through history. Stanton concluded that 'the Bible in its teachings degrades Women from Genesis to Revelation'. However she and the other contributors found much to admire in the Bible, particularly some of the Old Testament women. While many of her views are still controversial, time and advances in womens' rights have lessened some of the shock value of this book. Stanton...

So many letters are daily received asking questions about the Woman's Bible, -as to the extent of the revision, and the standpoint from which it will be conducted-that it seems best, though every detail is not as yet matured, to state the plan, as concisely as possible, upon which those who have been in consultation during the summer, propose to do the work

My mother had the military idea of government, but her children, like their grandfather, were disposed to assume the responsibility of their own actions; thus the ancestral traits in mother and children modified, in a measure, the dangerous tendencies in each. Our parents were as kind, indulgent, and considerate as the Puritan ideas of those days permitted, but fear, rather than love, of God and parents alike, predominated. Add to this our timidity in our intercourse with servants and teachers, our dread of the ever present devil, and the reader will see that, under such conditions, nothing...
