Description: Published by E.C. Allen & Co in 1871. There was another copy published by Russell of Boston in 1871; the copyright page of this copy has a date of 1870 copyright by the author Phebe A. Hanaford. I assume this is a First Edition, though it is unclear whether it is this or the Russell publication that is in fact the publisher of the First Edition. The book is subtitled, A Woman's Memorial Volume, and is dedicated "To The Women of America.." Overall the book is in GOOD CONDITION. Burgundy cloth boards, light edge wear, heavier sear to corners and top/bottom of spine. Rubbed spine gilt letters and lightened colors, author facsimile autograph on front board. No interior marks, solidly bound, 401 clean pages, followed by 4 pages of publisher ads. Foxing on frontispiece, tissue paper and title page, essentially none thereafter. On the author from Wikipedia: "Phebe Ann Coffin Hanaford (May 6, 1829 — June 2, 1921) was a Christian Universalist minister and biographer who was active in championing universal suffrage and women's rights. She was the first woman ordained as a Universalist minister in New England and the first woman to serve as chaplain to the Connecticut state legislature... ...During the Civil War, Hanaford become an abolitionist. She was an active suffragist as well, becoming a member of the American Equal Rights Association, which advocated for both black and female suffrage. She spoke at suffrage meetings at the state and national levels and served as vice president of the Association for the Advancement of Women in 1874. Hanaford turned to preaching and writing, producing a total of 14 books. The first of these, Lucretia the Quakeress (1853) was inspired by the life of a famous cousin, the abolitionist and women's rights activist Lucretia Coffin Mott. Another of her books, Life of Abraham Lincoln (1865), was the first biography of the president published after his assassination. It sold well, reaching 20,000 copies. She was also a member of the Revising Committee of 26 women who produced commentary for The Woman's Bible." B90
