Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Founding mothers of the women's rights movement speak in these historic speeches, read here with fervor by Mildred Natwick, Claudia McNeil, and Eileen Heckart. An addition to the Caedmon Audio series of great speeches, this is an excellent production. Contents include "Declaration of Sentiments" from the first women's rights convention; Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?" and "The Women Want Their Rights"; Susan B. Anthony's "Are Women Persons?"; Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "Address to the New York State Legislature," "Womanliness," "Solitude of Self," and "We Who Like the Children of Israel," plus others by Ernestine Rose, Lucy Stone, Carrie Chapman Catt, Florence Kelley, and the witty suffragist Anna Howard Shaw. Highly recommended.?Luana Ellis, Jamestown Community Coll. Lib., Olean, N.Y.

From AudioFile
Readings by Heckart, McNeil and Natwick match the power and eloquence of speeches by Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Carrie Chapman and other American women who fought for the equality of women at the ballot box, in the workplace, in the home--and on the podium. In addition to offering a powerful history lesson, these speeches just may rekindle faith in the power of well-written, eloquently delivered speeches to move people to action in the present day when we take such a jaded view of politicians and their messages.
