Stanton's "The Woman's Bible"

Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "The Woman's Bible," published in the late 19th century, is a critical commentary that reexamines and challenges traditional religious interpretations of women's roles. Stanton aimed to address perceived biases in the Bible that justified gender inequality, questioning passages that suggested women were subordinate or confined to specific roles. The work seeks to empower women by promoting gender equality and advocating for women’s rights, emphasizing moral and spiritual equality. While controversial for its time, it remains a significant early feminist critique of religious narratives that influence societal views on gender.
