"The Pleasures of Age": Old Women and Political Power in the U.S. Woman Suffrage Movement
Corinne T. Field, Department of Women, Gender & Sexuality, University of Virginia

In 1885, on her 70th birthday, Elizabeth Cady Stanton declared that "fifty not fifteen is the heyday of woman's life," and by the 1890's she was hailed as the "grand old woman of America" and compared to Lincoln and Washington. Sojourner Truth in the 1870's turned her embodied performance of old age into a political claim for reparations for formerly enslaved people. Professor Field will reveal why 19th century suffragists demanded respect and security for older women as an essential dimension of political empowerment and why these hopes remain largely unrealized over a century later.
