Summary

In "Humanly Speaking," Samuel McChord Crothers presents an incisive exploration of the art of communication, examining its profound implications on human relationships and society at large. Through a series of engaging essays, Crothers employs a conversational yet scholarly tone, weaving anecdotes and philosophical musings to articulate his views on the importance of empathy, clarity, and sincerity in dialogue. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, a time of profound social and technological change, the book reflects a growing awareness of the complexities of modern communication and its ability to foster or hinder understanding. Samuel McChord Crothers, a distinguished Unitarian minister and prolific writer, draws from his extensive experiences in public speaking and pastoral care to craft this significant work. His deep understanding of human psychology and rhetoric informs his arguments, allowing readers to appreciate the nuances and challenges of speaking authentically in an increasingly fragmented world. Crothers' commitment to elevating human discourse is evident, as he deftly navigates the interplay between language and the human condition. "Humanly Speaking" is an essential read for anyone interested in the dynamics of communication and its impact on personal and societal relationships. With its rich insights and timeless relevance, Crothers' work serves as a poignant reminder of the power of our words and the responsibilities they carry. This book will captivate scholars, communicators, and general readers alike, inviting us to rethink how we engage with one another.

    In 1881, three writers and rights activists, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage, came together to publish the first volume in their groundbreaking History of Woman Suffrage series – a series that eventually went on to fill 5700 pages and lend weight to a movement that changed the course of history for ever.
Taking its dedication from the first volume of the History – to the memory of pioneering women whose 'earnest lives and fearless words have been, in the preparation of these pages, a constant inspiration' – this volume collects together four essays that give an insight into the work as a whole, and provide a rounded introduction to the history of women's suffrage on both sides of the Atlantic.
