[Rarebooks] FS: 1871 Susan B. Anthony: THE BIRTH DAY OF WOMANHOOD

[Charles Agvent]

ANTHONY, Susan B. et. al. AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES BY 
THE NATIONAL WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE, WASHINGTON, D. C. 
Hartford: Case, Lockwood & Brainard, 1871. First Edition. Single sheet, 
11-3/8" x 9-7/16," folded, as issued, to four octavo pages, 5-3/4" x 
9-7/16," signed in print by Susan B Anthony, Isabella B. Hooker, Paulina 
W. Davis, Mary B. Bowen, Ruth C. Denison, and Josephine S. Griffing. 
Constitutes the scarce first printing of this important document in the 
history of women's suffrage in the United States. The only copy we could 
find in auction records sold at Sotheby's in 2016 for 6250 U.S. dollars 
where it was described: "'THIS IS PRE-EMINENTLY THE BIRTH DAY OF 
WOMANHOOD.' In this pamphlet, Susan B. Anthony and her fellow committee 
members urge American women to demand 'their Right to and their Use of 
the Elective Franchise.' In addition to Anthony, the National Woman 
Suffrage and Educational Committee comprised Isabella Beecher Hooker, 
Paulina W. Davis, Mary B. Bowen, Ruth C. Denison, and Josephine S. 
Griffing." From page 3: "You are taxed without representation, tried by 
a jury not of your peers, condemned and punished by judges and officers 
not of your choice, bound by laws you have had no voice in making, many 
of which are specially burdensome upon you as women; in short, your 
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are daily 
infringed, simply because you have heretofore been denied the use of the 
ballot, the one weapon of protection and defence under a republican form 
of government." Fine. (#020115)        $5,000
