0Alma Lutz's outstanding biography of Susan B. Anthony is revered for its descriptive power, attention to detail and historical significance to the women's Suffragette movement.
In this superb biography, we receive passionate accounts of the major turning points in Susan B. Anthony's life. The people who were her role models as a young woman, such as the articulate anti-slavery author Frederick B. Douglass, receive attention. Anthony's vociferous opposition to slavery led her to campaign before and during the U.S. Civil War for its abolition: her fiery and resolute spirit is well-documented from an early age: even as a teenager, Susan B. Anthony leafleted and campaigned for emancipation.
As one of the leading figures in women's rights during the 19th and early 20th centuries, Susan B. Anthony was responsible for the formation and organisation of several groups instrumental to women eventually gaining the vote in the United States. A tireless campaigner and speaker, Anthony would average between 75 and 100 speeches each year. Many of the more famous examples of her oratory are chronicled in these pages.
The infamous incident of 1872, wherein Susan B. Anthony tried and was refused the vote by the authorities of her hometown in Rochester, New York, is among the incidents retold. Although Anthony lost her trial and was levied a fine, the event itself received enormous media coverage and propelled Women's Suffrage to prominence as one of the leading movements of the era.
Enthusiastic about bringing her beliefs in women's rights and social reform to the world stage, Susan B. Anthony was also very active in starting international women's groups. Several of these are mentioned, as are the early successes which Anthony herself lived to see. Although she would perish before the women of the United States gained the vote in 1920, her pivotal role in accelerating support for women's suffrage carried an undeniably enormous importance.
This edition of Susan B. Anthony's biography contains the original edition's portraits and illustrations in their entirety. Also present are the notes which author Alma Lutz appended to better clarify certain passages.
