From Booklist
Made up of public statements, private letters, and entries from the diaries of Susan B. Anthony that Sherr places in a narrative historical continuity that includes biographical essays, reproductions of period engravings, and contemporary newspaper accounts, this book offers the great nineteenth-century woman's rights advocate in her totality. Here we read Anthony on a diverse range of subjects: her close friend Frederick Douglass and the slavery--that "hateful thing"--from which he escaped; foremothers and women of the future; making money and developing wealth; her own publishing career; President Cleveland, "the enemy"; dressing for success--that is, the issue of dress reform involving corsets, petticoats, and bloomers; and, of course, The Cause--women's suffrage. Anthony traveled widely--notably in a long series of journeys across the Midwest and West to promote the cause of women's suffrage--until age 85 (on account of this near constant movement, ABC News correspondent Sherr dubs her "the original frequent flier"). This biographical documentary commemorates the 175th anniversary of the suffragist's birth and the 75th of the Nineteenth Amendment most appropriately, indeed. Whitney Scott
