With a Report of the Executive Committee by Isabella B. Hooker, Chairman."Tracts of the Connecticut Woman suffrage Association. No. 2." The CWSA was founded by Isabella Beecher Hooker, sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher. She states in her report: "Because this is a crisis, at which our nation is called to choose between moral life and death, I am bold to address women themselves and especially educated ladies. . . It is a grievous fact, that men possessed of political power, and fully aware of things concerning which we fear to speak very plainly, have enacted in a course of many centuries just enough law against these horrors to salve their own consciences, but never have so enforced any enactment as to make the law a reality. . . I boldly say that History, and the voice of God sounding through its miserable pages, call upon pure hearted and happier women to succor their unhappy sisters, whom the ruder and less virtuous sex tramples down." 8vo. Original printed wrappers, string bound. Hartford: Case, Lockwood & Brainard, 1871. First Edition. Some staining to front and back covers, o/w Very Nice. Rare. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7123
