Susan B. Anthony

"In an era when women worldwide had few rights and could not vote, Susan B. Anthony risked her freedom and reputation by advocating for women's suffrage in the United States. This . . . title analyzes her 1873 speech 'On Women's Right to Vote,' and its . . . assertion that women are 'persons.' Additional material encourages readers to compare this speech to works by Sojourner Truth, as well as more modern women's rights advocates"--Provided by publisher.
