1870ref. 022282New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1870. Tabloid. Good. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Early issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way. This issue with a piece by Elizabeth Cady Stanton being a letter to John Hooker in which she addresses her thoughts on the rights of women with regard to divorce mentioning that divorce laws were written by men thus benefitting them. This issue was published around Susan B. Anthony's 50th birthday and contains a short piece by Anthony on her birthday. Also present is a piece on women's suffrage in Utah; a piece on the anniversary of the National Woman's Suffrage Association; the convention in California; the printing of many letters written to Susan B. Anthony on the occasion of her birthday etc. GOOD condition. Several faint fold creases present with other general wrinkling and creasing. Chipping and tearing along the edges.
