Suffrage

Produced in six volumes from 1881-1922, History of Woman Suffrage documents the movement’s presence in the United States. Written by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ida Husted Harper, and others associated with the National Woman Suffrage Association, the volumes are both personal and public in their chronicling of the experiences of women. Gleason owned at least the first four volumes, two of which are inscribed to recall the affection and admiration among those involved in the movement. For instance, Harper recollects times spent together in sisterhood, “To Miss Kate Gleason, in memory of a beautiful Sunday at the Country Club in the autumn of 1903. Ida Husted Harper. Christmas, 1903.”

Stanton, Elizabeth Cady, 1815-1902; Anthony, Susan B. (Susan Brownell), 1820-1906; Gage, Matilda Joslyn, 1826-1898; Harper, Ida Husted, 1851-1931
