Abstract

Susan Brownell Anthony (1820-1906) was an American reformer and advocate of woman’s rights. She crusaded for temperance and the abolition of slavery, but is best known for her work in the national woman’s suffrage movement, which culminated in the passage of the 19th Amendment to the constitution.

The collection contains correspondence and miscellaneous printed material dealing with Miss Anthony and the suffrage movement. The letters also deal with family and personal matters.
