SUMMARY:Book Signing Santa Monica\, CA: "Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life" - Diesel
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Carol Dubois discusses and signs “Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life”\n\n\n\n \n\nJoin us on Sunday March 1st at 3:00 pm as we welcome Ellen Carol DuBois to the store to discuss and sign Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life. Joining her in conversation will be Brenda E. Stevenson. \nThis event is free to attend and will be held in the courtyard at DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Brentwood. \nFree seating is limited. To reserve a seat\, please purchase one copy of a book for one seat. \nEllen Carol DuBois Event Reservation \nThe definitive biography of American suffragist and women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton\, from a preeminent historian of women’s suffrage \nElizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader\, thinker\, and organizer whose fight for women’s emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902\, a full fifth of America’s history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography\, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible. \nBorn in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism\, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called “the school of antislavery.” Though most remembered for her fight for the vote\, she was also an early crusader for women’s reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage\, and against Christianity’s subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation\, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today. \nBuilding upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton’s copious writings\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence\, moral ambiguity\, and power. \nEllen Carol DuBois is distinguished professor of history at UCLA. Her pioneering works on the US woman suffrage movement include Feminism and Suffrage: The Emergence of an Independent Women’s Movement in America\, 1848–1869\, Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage\, and Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote. She lives in Los Angeles. \nBrenda E. Stevenson is an internationally recognized scholar of race\, slavery\, gender\, family and racial conflict. Her specific intellectual interests center on the comparative\, historical experiences of women\, family\, and community across racial and ethnic lines. Race and gender—the ways in which these two variables interact\, intersect\, collide with\, emphasize\, run parallel to and sometimes isolate one another—are at the center of her work. Her book length publications include: The Journals of Charlotte Forten Grimke (Oxford 1988); Life in Black and White:  Family and Community in the Slave South (Oxford 1996); The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins:  Justice\, Gender and the Origins of the L.A. Riots(Oxford 2013); and\, What is Slavery? (Polity 2015). \nProfessor Stevenson’s research has garnered numerous prizes including the James A. Rawley Prize from the Organization of American Historians for the best book in race relations (U.S.) for The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins\, the Ida B. Wells Barnett Award for Bravery in Journalism\, and the Gustavus Meyer Outstanding Book Prize for Life in Black and White.  Her research has been supported by\, among others\, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the Ford Foundation\, the Mellon Foundation\, the American Association of University Women\, the Center for Advanced Study of the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford\, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities\, the National Humanities Center and the American Academy in Berlin. She also is the recipient of the 2014 UCLA Gold Shield Award for outstanding scholarship\, teaching and service and the John Blassingame Award for Mentorship and Scholarship from the Southern Historical Society. Professor Stevenson is the past Chair of the Departments of History and the Interdepartmental Program in African American Studies at UCLA.  She is a Distinguished Lecturer for both the Organization of American Historians and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Her interviews and commentaries can often be heard on NPR affiliates and other media outlets.

From the 1840s until her death in 1902\, Stanton fought for women’s emancipation\, advocating on issues that went far beyond the vote. Drawing on archival research and Stanton’s writings\, DuBois traces her advocacy for reproductive rights\, marriage reform\, and challenges to religious hierarchies\, while also examining Stanton’s conflicts with Black reformers and her support of nativist ideas—highlighting the contradictions that continue to complicate her legacy. \nDuBois\, in conversation with legal scholar Julie Suk\, discusses the reformer whose words still provoke—and whose struggles helped shape contemporary feminism.

DESCRIPTION:Ellen Carol DuBois at Harvard Book Store\n\n\n\npresenting\nElizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life\nin conversation with Drew Gilpin Faust \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEllen Carol DuBois (Photo Credit Scarlett Freund)\nDrew Gilpin Faust\n\n\n\nDate \n\nTuesday\, March 10\, 2026 – 7:00pm \n\n\n\n\nLocation \n\n\nHarvard Book Store\n\n\n1256 Massachusetts Ave.\,\nCambridge\, MA 02138 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicket \n\nThis event is free; no tickets are required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvard Book Store welcomes Ellen Carol DuBois—distinguished professor of history at UCLA and preeminent historian of women’s suffrage—for a discussion of her new book\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life. She will be joined in conversation by Drew Gilpin Faust—award-winning American historian and former President of Harvard. \nAbout Elizabeth Cady Stanton\nThe definitive biography of American suffragist and women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton\, from a preeminent historian of women’s suffrage \nElizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader\, thinker\, and organizer whose fight for women’s emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902\, a full fifth of America’s history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography\, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible. \nBorn in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism\, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called “the school of antislavery.” Though most remembered for her fight for the vote\, she was also an early crusader for women’s reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage\, and against Christianity’s subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation\, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today. \nBuilding upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton’s copious writings\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence\, moral ambiguity\, and power. \nPraise for Elizabeth Cady Stanton\n“The life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton still has much to teach us. The invented prisons of race\, sex\, and class are still with us\, but learning about successful past struggles against them can help to equalize the future.” —Gloria Steinem \n“A major figure deserves a matching biographer\, and here\, in this book\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton has found hers. Out of a mind and spirit rich in knowledge and devotion\, Ellen Dubois has fashioned a distinguished biography that secures Stanton’s unique place\, once and for all\, in the American movement for women’s rights. A pleasure to read.” —Vivian Gornick \n“DuBois’s Elizabeth Cady Stanton is a must-read biography! This lavish accounting and analysis of one of the most important women in U.S. history and women’s history by one of the nation’s most brilliant historians of women opens up a world of domesticity and activism\, as well as personal\, social\, and national evolution that is a layered revelation to anyone interested in U.S. history. DuBois is a seasoned researcher and excellent writer who brings new insight into the personal life\, political growth\, and social world of this essential pioneer in women’s rights across many decades of America’s evolution as a nation of many peoples\, voices\, and struggles.” —Brenda E. Stevenson\, University of California\, Los Angeles \n“At once critical and empathetic\, Ellen Dubois’s biography of Elizabeth Cady Stanton revives a leading American intellectual and feminist whose devotion to women’s rights\, liberal individualism\, and natural law increasingly came into conflict with beliefs in racial and human equality. By exploring Stanton’s intellectual evolution\, Dubois reveals much about both the nineteenth-century and modern United States.” —Richard White\, author of The Republic for Which It Stands \nBios\nEllen Carol DuBois is distinguished professor of history at UCLA. Her pioneering works on the US woman suffrage movement include Feminism and Suffrage: The Emergence of an Independent Women’s Movement in America\, 1848–1869\, Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage\, and Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote. She lives in Los Angeles. \nDrew Gilpin Faust grew up in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and received her B.A. from Bryn Mawr College\, magna cum laude and her M.A. and Ph.D from the University of Pennsylvania.
