Letter from Mary S. Anthony

It is but fair to presume that the women of Germany will become, politically, the equals of their fathers, husbands, and sons, long before their American sisters will be thus honored.

Perfect round of work and pleasure in harmony, was a task before which any committee might well stand aghast. But it has been done, and done well – with apparently as little friction as might occur in an affair of less importance. The beauty of it all is, that so far as we can see, it is the more intelligent, not merely will to do but wealthy people who have become so interested, and have made the whole thing so popular, - and if they continue as they have commenced, it is but fair to presume that the women of Germany will become, politically, the equals of their fathers, husbands, and sons, long before their American sisters will be thus honored.
It has been an inspiration to us all, and if we can only infuse enough of it among the people of the United States, we may live to see them more just to their women – with laws which will give to them all rights and privileges which are granted to men. Then, and not until then can they accomplish more and better.

With love to all-
Very truly – Mary S. Anthony.
