Poignant AQS on an off-white 3.5 x 2.5 card, in full: “Women are governed—therefore their opinions should be counted on every question. Susan B. Anthony, Rochester, N.Y., June 23, 1912.” In fine condition, with light toning and a few tiny spots of soiling.
Anthony was convinced by her work for temperance that women needed the vote if they were to influence public affairs. More than any other woman of her generation, she saw the legal disabilities faced by American women owed to the simple fact that they could not cast a ballot. When Anthony attended her first woman's rights convention in 1852, she declared “that the right which woman needed above every other, the one indeed which would secure to her all the others, was the right of suffrage.” That sentiment is reflected in the offered quotation. Anthony spent her life fighting for the right to vote—and was arrested for casting a ballot in 1872. Her dream would not reach fruition until the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment fourteen years after her 1906 death. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
