Susan B. Anthony / Rebel, Crusader, Humanitarian

A biographical account traces Susan B. Anthony's life from Quaker roots to her emergence as a tireless campaigner against slavery and for women's civil and political rights. It examines her organizing, public speaking, fundraising, legal strategies and collaborations, explores tensions over the Fifteenth and Fourteenth Amendments and her decision to test voting rights in court, and discusses social purity, labor and wages, and the push for a federal woman-suffrage amendment. The book also documents regional victories, opposition tactics, efforts to preserve women's history, and concludes with her vision for universal human rights and the transfer of leadership to a new generation.
