The Fight over the Fifteenth Amendment; Conclusion; Abbreviations; Notes; Selected Bibliography; IndexThe advocates of woman suffrage and black suffrage came to a bitter falling-out in the midst of Reconstruction, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton opposed the 15th Amendment because it granted the vote to black men but not to women. How did these two causes, so long allied, come to this? Based on extensive research, Fighting Chance is a major contribution to women's history and to 19th-century political history--a story of how idealists descended to racist betrayal and desperate failure.WomenSuffrageUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAfrican AmericansSuffrageHistory19th centuryWomen's rightsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)WomenSuffrageHistoryAfrican AmericansSuffrageHistoryWomen's rightsHistoryReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)324.6/208996073Dudden Faye E1679418MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816943003321Fighting chance4047611UNINA
