I am looking for the original source for this Elizabeth Cady Stanton quote: "The more I read, the more keenly I felt the importance of convincing women that the Hebrew mythology had no special claim to a higher origin than that of the Greeks, being far less attractive in style and less refined in sentiment." I have read that this comes from her memoirs ("Eighty Years and More"), but I need to know: 1. what page in her book it comes from, and 2. all bibliographic information on this book...or whatever book the quote truly comes from. If the researcher cannot find this information, I will accept the page number and all bibliographic info on any other Elizabeth Cady Stanton quote that refers to the Judeo/Christian Bible as "mythology." Thank you. |

There is an online version of Eighty Years and More; the quotation comes from Chapter XXVII http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/stanton/years/years-XXVII.html Unfortunately, although the contents page is reproduced, from which it's possible to tell that the chapter started on page 438, and the following chapter started on page 458, the people putting this version online omitted to indicate the page numbers in the body of the text. A modern edition of this book is listed at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1555531377/qid=1033742045/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/002-5441247-3682441?v=glance Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences 1815-1897 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ellen Carol DuBois (Introduction) Paperback: 490 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.19 x 8.00 x 5.46 Publisher: Northeastern University Press; ISBN: 1555531377; New edition (December 1992) In-Print Editions: Hardcover (Reprint) | Paperback (Unabridged) | I've put this as a comment, because I cannot give you the full bibliographic reference you require for an answer. |
