Synopsis

"Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less." -Susan B. Anthony, The Revolution, a women's rights weekly (1868)

The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony, including Public Addresses, Her Own Letters and Many From Her Contemporaries-A Story of the Evolution of the Status of Woman (in three volumes) by Ida Husted Harper, American author and suffragist, is the authoritative biography of Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906). Anthony was an American women's rights campaigner, abolitionist, labor activist, and suffragist. She was strongly influenced by her Quaker upbringing and devoted to social equality.

In 1872, Anthony presented an amendment to Congress giving women the right to vote. In 1920, this was ratified as the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, i.e. the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. One hundred years later, on August 18, 2020, President Trump pardoned Anthony, who had been arrested and fined $100 in 1872 for violating male-only voting laws.

This biography is a must read for students of American social reform history and anyone interested in one of the most pivotal figures of America's women's suffrage movement.
