Mistress of Herself
The first collection of speeches and writings from the nineteenth century's women's rights leader.
A Defence of Atheism
Ernestine Louise Rose (1810-1892) was an American suffragist, abolitionist, and freethinker. Often overlooked by historians, she was one of the founders and leaders of the women's rights movement. Born in Poland, she was the daughter of a wealthy rabbi. She soon began questioning her father on religion, to which he once told her "A young girl does not want to understand the object of her creed, but to accept and believe it." When he betrothed her against her will, she pleaded her case to the secular civil court, which ruled in her favor. Estranged from her father, she traveled across Europe arriving to England, where she met socialist Robert Owen, who took her under his wing and invited her ...
The American Life of Ernestine L. Rose
A biography of one of the least known women's rights activists in 19th-century America. For over 30 years, Rose (1810-1892) attacked slavery and decried women's lack of political and social rights. Her atheism, her Jewish and Polish background, and her blunt appeal to reason made her an easy target for those opposed to her ideas, and an outsider even among the reformers, whose anti-Semitism, anti-immigrationist sentiments, and unconscious racism she aroused.

The Rabbi's Atheist Daughter
Known as "the queen of the platform," Ernestine Rose was more famous than her women's rights co-workers, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. By the 1850s, Rose had become an outstanding orator for feminism, free thought, and anti-slavery. Yet, she would gradually be erased from history for being too much of an outlier: an immigrant, a radical, and an atheist. In The Rabbi's Atheist Daughter, Bonnie S. Anderson recovers the unique life and career of Ernestine Rose. The only child of a Polish rabbi, Ernestine Rose rejected religion at an early age, successfully sued for the return of her dowry after rejecting an arranged betrothal, and left her family, Judaism, and Poland forever. In ...

The Progress of Colored Women: Three Civil Rights Speeches by the First Black Woman to Receive a College Education in the United States of America (H
Mary Church Terrell was an icon in the civil rights movement, advocating for equality and social justice for black women through a lifetime of campaigning and eloquent oration. Famed for being the first black woman to gain a college education in the United States, Mary Terrell put her education to great use. Beginning in the 1890s, she spoke publicly on a range of civil rights which black Americans and black women were deprived. Throughout these efforts, Terrell helped coordinate a series of local movements which campaigned for suffrage and enfranchisement for the black population. Mary Church Terrell began a trend in the civil rights movement; her language bursting with eloquence and reason, she argued for a better intellectual, social and economic life for black Americans. Black women, who lacked even the right to vote, were compelled to join the cause, which they did in their thousands. Living to the age of 90, Terrell was a bridge between the Reconstruction era and the modern civil rights movement.
Discourse on Woman
This lecture by Mott, delivered 17 December 1849, was in response to one by an unidentified lecturer criticizing the demand for equal rights for women. She makes a very gentle appeal, here, for women's enfranchisement, placing emphasis, instead on the injustices done to women in marriage.
