Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xx, 507 pages. Author's Note: Story Lines. Illustrations (some in color). Endnotes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads "For Mary, Madiera '64 so already FORMIDABLE! Elisabeth Griffith". which was the inspiration for Ken Burns' PBS documentary, Not For Ourselves Alone. Elisabeth Griffith is an American historian, educator, and activist. She is the author of Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality: 1920–2020, and In Her Own Right: The Life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Early in her career, she held leadership positions in the Women's Campaign Fund and the National Women's Political Caucus, before serving as head of the Madeira School for 22 years. Griffith earned a bachelor's degree at Wellesley College, where she became friends with Hillary Clinton. She has a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University. She briefly attended Stanford Law School, but dropped out after one semester. In 1982, she received a Ph.D. in history from American University. Griffith has also been a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. After graduating from college, Griffith was involved with the National Women's Political Caucus, [5] first as a volunteer, then as vice chairwoman, treasurer, and advisory board member. She was one of the five original board members of the National Women's Education Fund. In her Washington Post review of Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality, Connie Schulz wrote that Griffith "does an exemplary job of showing how women have always discovered ways to be powerful, regardless of obstacles." The Nineteenth Amendment was an incomplete victory. Black and white women fought hard for voting rights and doubled the number of eligible voters, but the amendment did not enfranchise all women, or even protect the rights of those women who could vote. A century later, women are still grappling with how to use the vote and their political power to expand civil rights, confront racial violence, improve maternal health, advance educational and employment opportunities, and secure reproductive rights. Formidable chronicles the efforts of white and Black women to advance sometimes competing causes. Black women wanted the rights enjoyed by whites. They wanted to protect their communities from racial violence and discrimination. Theirs was not only a women's movement. White women wanted to be equal to white men. They sought equal legal rights, political power, safeguards for working women and immigrants, and an end to confining social structures. There were also many white women who opposed any advance for any women. In this riveting narrative, Dr. Elisabeth Griffith integrates the fight by white and Black women to achieve equality. Previously their parallel struggles for social justice have been presented separately—as white or Black topics—or covered narrowly, through only certain individuals, decades, or incidents. Formidable provides a sweeping, century-long perspective, and an expansive cast of change agents. From feminists and civil rights activists to politicians and social justice advocates, from working class women to mothers and homemakers, from radicals and conservatives to those who were offended by feminism, threatened by social change, or convinced of white supremacy, the diversity of the women's movement mirrors America. After that landmark victory in 1920, suffragists had a sense of optimism, declaring, “Now we can begin! ” By 2020, a new generation knew how hard the fight for incremental change was; they would have to begin again. Both engaging and outraging, Formidable will propel readers to continue their foremothers' fights to achieve equality for all. Derived from a Kirkus review: A history of a century of change for American women. Griffith offers an encyclopedic overview of women's advocacy for issues they believed crucial to their lives. Beginning with the suffrage movement, different constituencies often saw...
