Lecture by Historian Lori Ginzberg, Ph.D.
November 9, 2009
Guest Lecturer to present “Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life.” Sponsored by the Women’s Studies Program.
Lori Ginzberg, Ph.D., a historian from the Pennsylvania State University, will focus on one of the most important figures in the history of the American women’s rights movement, based on her newly published book, “Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life.”
“At once critical and admiring, Ginzberg captures Stanton’s ambiguous place in the world of reformers and intellectuals, describes how she changed the world, and suggests that Stanton left a mixed legacy that continues to haunt American feminism,” says the book’s publisher. Copies will be available to purchase at the lecture, and a signing will follow.
Ginzberg is a professor of history and women’s studies at Penn State. She has written several books on women’s history, including “Untidy Origins: A Story of Woman’s Rights in Antebellum New York.”
