In 1848 the first Women's Rights convention took place in Seneca falls, New York, convened by the suffragist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. At the convention, a black man, Frederick Douglass, was the only man to speak in support of Stanton. This books tells the story of Stanton and Douglass, and of their form of democracy, striving for individual responsibility, freed from prejudice and the politics of race and gender. Mythologizing history mingled with autobiography, confession, social reflection and psychology, the author describes his vision of a new kind of humanity for the future.

For Brad Miller, who was born and raised in Seneca Falls and came of age in the civil rights and the feminist movements, this story crystallizes and animates in a personal way the story of democracy as it strives for the moment when men and women will lead themselves, or be led, to the opportunity of individual responsibility and self-realization, without prejudice and the politics of race and gender.
Creating his own mythology, Brad Miller takes us on a spiritual journey through the soul of America. Out of his own experiences, he seeks to create the vision of a new kind of humanity in which men and women, strong and equal, black and white, can move into the future, true heirs of that founding gesture of 1848.
