self paper wrappers. 4to. self paper wrappers. 7 pages. Republished from the Index, Boston. Caption title, text presented in two columns; unopened and in fine condition. The only separate printing of this essay, which first appeared in the Boston periodical, the Index, 1885. In it, Stanton concludes: "We do not burn the bodies of women to-day; but we humiliate them in a thousand ways, and chiefly by our theologies. So long as the pulpits teach woman's inferiority and subjection, she can never command that honor and respect of the ignorant classes needed for her safety and protection. There is nothing more pathetic in all history than the hopeless resignation of woman to the outrages she has been taught to believe are ordained by God." OCLC locates copies at just two institutions (New York Historical Society; Wisconsin Historical Society; OCLC 6898449). Not in LCOC, or Schlesinger Library online catalogue. Stanton's The Woman's Bible, first published in 1895 (and of which far more copies are recorded than Stanton's Christian Church and Women) is now considered a landmark document in the history of woman's rights. At the time of its publication, however, the National American Woman Suffrage Association (of which Stanton had served as its first president), after active debate at its annual convention, distanced itself from both the work and its author, and adopted a resolution that, "This association is non-sectarian, being composed of persons of all shades of religious opinion, and has no official connection with the so-called 'Woman's Bible' or any theological publication." This resulted in Stanton becoming marginalized in the woman's rights movement for the remainder of her life.
