Laura Curtis Bullard (1831-1912) was a novelist, editor, and activist 
who succeeded Susan B. Anthony as the editor of the suffrage newspaper, 
"The Revolution." In her 1856 novel CHRISTINE: OR, WOMAN'S TRIALS AND 
TRIUMPHS, she created one of antebellum America's most radical heroines: 
a woman's rights leader who openly challenges a social and legal system 
that denies women full and equal rights. (#016101)        $1,500.00
