Abstract

"In the rotunda of the nation's Capital a statue pays homage to three famous nineteenth-century American women suffragists: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott. "Historically," the inscription beneath the marble statue notes, "these three stand unique and peerless." In fact, the statue has a glaring omission: Lucy Stone. A pivotal leader in the fight for both abolition and gender equality, her achievements marked the beginning of the women's rights movement and helped to lay the groundwork for the eventual winning of women's suffrage. Yet, today most Americans have never heard of Lucy Stone. Sally McMillen sets out to address this significant historical oversight in this engaging biography. Exploring her extraordinary life and the role she played in crafting a more just society, McMillen restores Lucy Stone to her rightful place at the center of the nineteenth-century women's rights movement. Raised in a middle-class Massachusetts farm family, Stone became convinced at an early age that education was key to women's independence and selfhood, and went on to attend the Oberlin Collegiate Institute. When she graduated in 1847 as one of the first women in the US to earn a college degree, she was drawn into the public sector as an activist and quickly became one of the most famous orators of her day. Lecturing on anti-slavery and women's rights, she was instrumental in organizing and speaking at several annual national woman's rights conventions throughout the 1850s. She played a critical role in the organization and leadership of the American Equal Rights Association during the Civil War, and, in 1869, cofounded the American Woman Suffrage Association, one of two national women's rights organizations that fought for women's right to vote. Encompassing Stone's marriage to Henry Blackwell and the birth of their daughter Alice, as well as her significant friendships with Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and others, McMillen's biography paints a complete picture of Stone's influential and eminently important life and work. Self-effacing until the end of her life, Stone did not relish the limelight the way Elizabeth Cady Stanton did, nor did she gain the many followers whom Susan B. Anthony attracted through her extensive travels and years of dedicated work. Yet her contributions to the woman's rights movement were no less significant or revolutionary than those of her more widely lauded peers. In this accessible, readable, and historically-grounded work, Lucy Stone is finally given the standing she deserves"-- "A biography of Lucy Stone, who, while often overshadowed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and others, played a pivotal role in the woman's rights movement and fought for gender equality throughout her life"--

Abstract

Sujetos del deseo propone que todo traductor literario es un amateur, en el sentido que ama y desea un texto, un autor, una voz, una cultura, y que movido por su deseo y a pesar de las condiciones precarias de su labor se convierte en pieza clave de la circulación de productos culturales. Además, es un libro sobre los éxitos y fracasos del traductor amateur como agente político-cultural en las zonas que definen las relaciones culturales entre Estados Unidos y América Latina entre finales del siglo XIX y mediados del siglo XX. En este contexto, el libro se enfoca en el trabajo y las redes intelectuales de dos traductores estadounidenses: Alice Stone Blackwell e Isaac Goldberg. Su audiencia son académicos, profesores y estudiantes de estudios de traducción y estudios latinoamericanos y hemisféricos en general. Sus contribuciones más importantes son la historización, conceptualización y análisis de la figura del traductor amateur como un sujeto de resistencia y el ser el primer estudio dedicado a pensar la figura y narrar la historia moderna del traductor amateur como instancia de mediación cultural entre Estados Unidos y América Latina. This book analyzes, conceptualizes and historicizes the amateur translator figure as political and cultural agent in US-Latin American relations, from the end of the 19th century to the mid-20th century. Centered on the work of two US-American translators, Alice Stone Blackwell and Isaac Goldberg, it is the first study to offer a modern history of the amateur translator as subject of resistance and cultural mediator between the two regions.
