Fighting Chance: The Struggle over Woman Suffrage and Black Suffrage in Reconstruction America
Faye E. Dudden (Professor of History and Presidential Scholar, Professor of History and Presidential Scholar, Colgate University)
The advocates of woman suffrage and black suffrage came to a bitter falling-out in the midst of Reconstruction, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton opposed the 15th Amendment because it granted the vote to black men but not to women. How did these two causes, so long allied, come to this?
Based on extensive research, Fighting Chance is a major contribution to women’s history and to 19th-century political history–a story of how idealists descended to racist betrayal and desperate failure.
