From the Writings of Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) here recalls her life as an earnest, and for a time, a frivolous, young woman and the events that brought her in 1851 to meet her great friend, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Soon after, Anthony became a full-time worker for woman’s rights: her right to the control of her own person, her right to ownership of her wages, her right to the guardianship of her own children—and finally, her right to suffrage.

It was a pleasure to experience the purity of this accurate rendering of Susan B. Anthony. Miriam brings to life this historically important woman in a way that inspires passion for social activism, an important reminder that there are causes worth giving one’s life to.
