Women's Corner on Miss Anthony and suffrage leadership
In a long letter, readers defend Susan B Anthony against claims she accused men as the common enemy. They point to the 1848 Seneca Falls resolutions, praise Anthony’s pioneering work, and urge editors to correct misquotations from the national convention coverage.
