Form and Content
In Oh, Lizzie! The Life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Doris Faber presents a semifictionalized, narrative account of the life of Stanton from age eleven to eighty-seven. Much of the narrative is presented in dialogue, which breaks up the text and helps the story to flow more smoothly.
