Bargain @ $1.99 from Oxford University Press's US division (couponable @ Kobo, was matched at Amazon, but not iTunes, Google Play, or B&N when I checked, price good for Canada & US, at least, geo-restricted in the UK):

In Her Own Right : The Life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Elisabeth Griffith, her biography of the pioneering US feminist and social advocate (Wikipedia), originally out in 1984. The Amazon listing quotes a lot of favourable editorial reviews accumulated over the years. I've no idea how long this has been or will be on sale, but apparently I bought it a couple of years ago and still have not gotten around to reading it yet.

The first comprehensive fully documented biography of the most important woman suffragist and feminist reformer in nineteenth-century America, In Her Own Right restores Elizabeth Cady Stanton to her true place in history. Griffith emphasizes the significance of role models and female friendships in Stanton's progress toward personal and political independence. In Her Own Right is in the author's words an "unabashedly 'great woman' biography.
