According to Fritz, "Elizabeth blamed preachers for holding women down." Fritz writes, "And men believed that they were the lords of creation,' Elizabeth said. They claimed that the minds of men and women were different, each suited only to its own 'sphere.'" Stanton blamed the clergy for promoting this view, for giving what she considered to be a biased view of the Bible. Stanton even wrote a book about the passages in the Bible where women are mentioned, and she asserts their equality with men before God.
