[Rarebooks] FS: Susan B. Anthony Hand-Addressed Envelope to Her Sister

[Charles Agvent]

ANTHONY, Susan B. HAND-ADDRESSED ENVELOPE TO HER SISTER. . An envelope 
(6" x 3-1/4") with a lengthy printed statement by The Citizens' Suffrage 
Association addressed in the hand of Susan B. Anthony to her younger 
sister: "Miss Mary S. Anthony/Rochester -- N. Y./U. S. America." On the 
side of the envelope is written "Zurich/Apr 23rd 83," likely in one of 
the sisters' hands. Fine.

Mary Stafford Anthony was a suffrage activist in her own right. Her 
interest in women's rights, in fact, preceded that of her sister. On 
August 2, 1848, she attended the Adjourned Convention in Rochester of 
the First Woman's Rights Convention and, together with her father and 
mother, signed the Declaration of Sentiments. She was instrumental in 
establishing the Women's Political Club (later renamed the Political 
Equality Club) in the 1880s. In 1893, she was elected corresponding 
secretary for the New York State Woman Suffrage Association, and in 1904 
when the International Woman Suffrage Alliance was formed, Susan B. 
Anthony was declared its first member and Miss Mary Anthony was 
unanimously declared its second. (#016106)        $750.00
