These women understood the relationship between sexism, racism, and economic inequality; yet, they are virtually unknown in American political thought because they are considered activists, not theorists. Their efforts to expand the reach of America’s founding ideals laid the groundwork not only for women’s suffrage and the abolition of slavery, but for the broader expansion of civil, political, and human rights that would characterize much of the twentieth century and continues to unfold today.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a careful reading of speeches, letters and other archival sources, Lisa Pace Vetter shows the ways in which the early women’s rights movement and abolitionism were central to the development of American political thought. The Political Thought of America’s Founding Feminists demonstrates that early American political thought is incomplete without attention to these important female thinkers, and that an understanding of early American women’s movements is incomplete without considering its profound impact on political thought. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA complex and thoughtful guide to the indispensable role of women in shaping the American way of life, \u003ci\u003eThe Political Thought of America’s Founding Feminists\u003c\/i\u003e is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the history of American political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Pace Vetter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48088737972475,"sku":"9781479891115","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-political-thought-of-americas-founding-feminists-9781479891115","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
