Elizabeth Oakes Smith: Selected Writings, Volume II

Bag om Elizabeth Oakes Smith: Selected Writings, Volume II

Volume II documents nineteenth-century literary celebrity Elizabeth Oakes Smith's decision to commit herself to the cause of woman's rights. Volume II traces the sharp turn in her career at mid-century: a multidimensional effort involving newspaper editorial, a lecture career extending as far as Louisville and Chicago, and throughout these efforts, an attempt to garner the support to inaugurate the first journal owned and edited by women dedicated to the cause of woman's empowerment. Featured are fully annotated editions of two of Oakes Smith's treatises published in the early 1850s (Woman and Her Needs and Hints on Dress and Beauty), along with her most popular lecture, "The Dignity of Labor." Correspondence between Oakes Smith and Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucretia Mott, Horace Greeley, and other reform leaders of the period regarding her projected journal, the The Egeria, reveal the economic challenges faced by radical leaders in the Antebellum period.
