Women's rights advocate & novelist,
By
This review is from: Selections from the Autobiography of Elizabeth Oakes Smith (Hardcover)
Elizabeth Oakes Smith (1806-1893) was well-known in her day as a novelist, short story writer and as an advocate for women's rights. She attended the Second National Woman's Rights Convention in 1851 and contributed a series of unpaid articles titled "Woman and Her Needs" for the NY Tribune which were later published in pamphlet form. She was a charter member of Sorosis (1868), the first woman's club established in New York City. According to the book's foreword, she was the first woman to lecture on the lyceum circuit. She moved from Maine to North Carolina late in life, and participated in sufrage and temperance movements. She deserves another look by a biographer, but probably not inbook form.
