[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. Although not signed by her, it is 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)        $650
