ANTHONY; KEN BURNS; SUFFRAGETTE; MARTHA SAXTON; PAUL BARNES; VOTING RIGHTS; FEMINISM; ANN GORDON; ELLEN CAROL DUBOIS, Jacket, xi, [1], 240 p. Includes: illustrations, index. Selected Bibliography. Illustration Credits. Film Credits. Preface by Ken Burns; Introduction by Paul Barnes. Based on a documentary film by Ken BUrns and Paul Barnes that was written by Geoffrey C. Ward. Contributions by Marton Saxton, Ann D. GOrdon, and Ellen Carol DuBois. From dust jacket flap. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were two heroic women who vastly bettered the lives of a majority of American citizens. For more than fifty years they led the public battle to secure for women the most basic civil rights and helped establish a movement that would revolutionize American society. Yet despite the importance of their work and they impact they made on our history, a century and a half later, they have been almost forgotten. From Wikipedia: "Geoffrey Champion Ward (born 1940) is an editor, author, historian and writer of scripts for American history documentaries for public television. He is the author or co-author of 18 books, including five companion books to the documentaries he has written. He is the winner of seven Emmy Awards. Born in Newark, Ohio and a graduate of Oberlin College (1962), Ward's father was F. Champion Ward, educator and a devisor of the MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant. Ward was the founding editor of Audience Magazine (1970-1973) and the editor of American Heritage Magazine (1977-1982). His 1989 biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, A First-class Temperament: the Emergence of Franklin Roosevelt, won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Francis Parkman Prize of the Society of American Historians and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The principal writer of the television mini-series The Civil War (1990), Ward has collaborated with its co-producer Ken Burns on most of the documentaries he has made since, including Jazz, Baseball, The War and Not For Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. This work has garnered him five Emmy Awards. He also won two Emmys for the American Experience series, including The Kennedys, in 1992 and TR, The Story of Theodore Roosevelt in 1996. In 2006, the Organization of American Historians gave Ward their Friend of History Award for his outstanding contributions to American history: Over the last twenty years Geoffrey Ward's writings on American History have had a greater influence and reached a wider audience than those of any other American writer and historian. [His] work is always his own, but he has also helped free ideas that otherwise might have been imprisoned in the academy and helped them find a wider world. He has helped academic historians understand the possibilities, limits, and demands of what has become the medium through which most Americans now get their history." The most recent Burns/Ward collaboration, Prohibition (2011), brought Ward his seventh Emmy for Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming." First edition. First Edition [Stated].
