Susan B. Anthony: Woman
built 137 days ago
In the late 1870s Anthony, along with Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage, began to undertake the difficult task of writing the massive History of Woman Suffrage. Anthony did not consider this the most pleasant task she ever faced -- she said she would rather make history than write it -- but ... the first three volumes were published by 1886. (The History of Woman Suffrage eventually was six volumes long.)
In the 1890s, while president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Anthony emphasized the importance of gaining the support of organized labor. She encouraged Florence Kelley and Jane Addams in their work in Chicago, and Gail Laughlin in her goal to seek protection for working women through trade unions.
