Includes index. 1. Anthony, Susan Brownell, 1820-1906. [JK1899.A6L8 1975] 324'.3'0924 [B] 75-37764 ISBN 0-89201-017-7 Printed in the United States of America To the young women of today PREFACE To strive for liberty and for a democratic way of life has always been a noble tradition of our country. Susan B. Anthony followed this tradition. Convinced that the principle of equal rights for all, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, must be expressed in the laws of a true republic, she devoted her life to the establishment of this ideal. Because she recognized in Negro slavery and in the legal bondage of women flagrant violations of this principle, she became an active, courageous, effective antislavery crusader and a champion of civil and political rights for women. She saw women's struggle for freedom from legal restrictions as an important phase in the development of American democracy. To her this struggle was never a battle of the sexes, but a battle such as any freedom-loving people would wage for civil and political rights. While her goals for women were only partially realized in her lifetime, she prepared the soil for the acceptance not only of her long-hoped-for federal woman suffrage amendment but for a worldwide Susan B. Anthony, by Alma Lutz 3 recognition of human rights, now expressed in the United Nations Charter and the Declaration of Human Rights. She looked forward to the time when throughout the world there would be no discrimination because of race, color, religion, or sex. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS "The letters of a person ...," said Thomas Jefferson, "form the only full and genuine journal of his life." Susan B. Anthony's letters, hundreds of them, preserved in libraries and private collections, and her diaries have been the basis of this biography, and I acknowledge my indebtedness to the following libraries and their helpful librarians: the American Antiquarian Society; the Bancroft Library of the University of California; the Boston Public Library; the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery; the Indiana State Library; the Kansas Historical Society; the Library of Congress; the Susan B. Anthony Memorial Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library, which has been transferred to the Henry E. Huntington Library; the New York Public Library; the New York State Library; the Ohio State Library; the Radcliffe Women's Archives; the Seneca Falls Historical Society; the Smith College Library; the Susan B. Anthony Memorial Inc., Rochester, New York; the University of Rochester Library; the University of Kentucky Library; and the Vassar College Library. I am particularly indebted to Lucy E. Anthony, who asked me to write a biography of her aunt, lent me her aunt's diaries, and was most generous with her records and personal recollections. To her and to her sister, Mrs. Ann Anthony Bacon, I am very grateful for photographs and for permission to quote from Susan B. Anthony's diaries and from her letters and manuscripts. Ida Husted Harper's Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony, written in collaboration with Susan B. Anthony, and the History of Woman Suffrage, compiled by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Ida Husted Harper, have been invaluable. As many of the letters and documents used in the preparation of these books were destroyed, they have preserved an important record of the work of Susan B. Anthony and of the woman's rights movement. I am especially grateful to Martha Taylor Howard for her unfailing interest and for the use of the valuable Susan B. Anthony Memorial Collection which she initiated and developed in Rochester, New York; and to Una R. Winter for her interest and for the use of her Susan B. Anthony Collection, most of which is now in the Henry E. Huntington Library. I thank Edna M. Stantial for permission to examine and quote from the Blackwell Papers; Anna Dann Mason for permission to read her reminiscences and the many letters written to her by Susan B. Anthony; Ellen Garrison for permission to quote from letters of Lucretia Mott and Martha C. Wright; Eleanor W. Thompson for copies of Susan B. Anthony's letters to Amelia Bloomer; Henry R. Selden II whose grandfather was Susan B. Anthony's lawyer during her trial for voting; Judge John Van Voorhis whose grandfather was associated with Judge Selden in Miss Anthony's defense; William B. Brown for information about the early history of Adams, Massachusetts, the Susan B. Anthony birthplace, and the Friends Meeting House in Adams; Dr. James Harvey Young for information about Anna E. Dickinson; Margaret Lutz Fogg for help in connection with the trial of Susan B.

  • Isabel Amiano
    isabel amiano www.isabelamiano.com.ar ARCHITECTURE NEW YORK New York in fact has three separately recognizable skylines: Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Manhattan (also known as Lower Manhattan), and Downtown Brooklyn. The largest of these skylines is in Midtown, which is the largest central business district in the world, and also home to such notable buildings as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and Rockefeller Center. The Downtown skyline comprises the third largest central business district in the United States (after Midtown and Chicago's Loop), and was once characterized by the presence of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Today it is undergoing the rapid reconstruction of Lower Manhattan, and will include the new One World Trade Center Freedom Tower, which will rise to a height of 1776 ft. when completed in 2010. The Downtown skyline will also be getting notable additions soon from such architects as Santiago Calatrava and Frank Gehry. Also, Goldman Sachs is building a 225 meter (750 feet) tall, 43 floor building across the street from the World Trade Center site. New York City has a long history of tall buildings. It has been home to 10 buildings that have held the world's tallest fully inhabitable building title at some point in history, although half have since been demolished. The first building to bring the world's tallest title to New York was the New York World Building, in 1890. Later, New York City was home to the world's tallest building for 75 continuous years, starting with the Park Row Building in 1899 and ending with 1 World Trade Center upon completion of the Sears Tower in 1974.

  • Kathy King Statement – Speak to Me
    Kathy King Statement – Speak to Me The birth of our country revolved, in part, around freedom of religion, which in turn wove an often- explosive tale concerning cultural interest in spiritualism. As we know, the tug-of-war between spiritualists with their ability or interest to “speak to the beyond” conflicted with early Puritan beliefs, resulting in well- known tragedies such as the Salem Witch trials. Those that challenged or confused the religious doctrine of the time were most often women. Years later, Victorian America (1837-1901) produced cases of women who were identified as psychic mediums and spiritualists who aligned themselves with both the rights of women as well as people of color. Many attained a modicum of celebrity in doing so such as the Fox sisters of Hydesville, New York in 1848 to the great Victoria Woodhull, a somewhat ignored leader in the women’s suffrage movement who was not only one the first woman-owner of a Wall Street brokerage firm but also declared herself the first woman candidate for the Presidency in 1872. This work does not share the biography of such individuals but instead explores the embodiment of power attained by women identified as spiritualists. In a time where women had little power or voice beyond the confines of the domestic space, those identified as being able to communicate with those that have “passed on” certainly rocked the boat regarding the identity of women as the quiet, unassuming caregiver, domestic servant and sexual object. This point of exchange is what interests me - the temporary slip from one role guided by social norms to one of spectacular interest and importance.

    Document title A HISTORY OF THE National Woman's Rights Movement, FOR TWENTY YEARS, With Proceedings of the Decade Meeting held at Apollo Hall, October 20, 1870, FROM 1850 TO 1870, WITH AN APPENDIX CONTAINING THE HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT DURING THE WINTER OF 1871, IN THE NATIONAL CAPITOL, COMPILED BY PAULINA W. DAVIS. NEW YORK: JOURNEYMEN PRINTERS’ CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION, No. 30 Beekman Street. 1871. REPORT OF Proceedings of the Twentieth Anniversary, AND OF THE RECEPTION HELD AT THE ST. JAMES HOTEL. In August, 1869, it was announced in a Convention held in Newport, R. I., that the second Decade of the National Women's Rights Movement would occur on the 19th and 20th of October, 1870, and that a committee must be appointed to prepare for its celebration. Such committee was appointed; and a call, embracing the important points of the one issued in 1850, was sent out in all directions. The invitation, cordial and earnest, was accepted by large numbers. The committee held a reception in the parlors of the St. James, and a collation was served at seven o'clock P. M. From the New York Sun. -WHAT THE PAPERS SAID ABOUT THE ST. JAMESRECEPTION. The parlors of the St. James Hotel were the scene of a delightful reception and reunion of the advocates of woman suffrage on Tuesday afternoon, between the hours of three and five. It was especially a meeting of reminiscences, recalling to many of the pioneers in the woman's cause hours of severe toil and labor, and some bitter experiences, not unmixed with times of rejoicing.
