The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony (Volume 2 of 2) Including Public Addresses, Her Own Letters and Many From Her Contemporaries During Fifty Years

A vivid portrait emerges of a tireless reformer moving from the campaign trails of the Midwest to the grand halls of European discourse. Through a blend of public speeches, personal letters, and contemporary commentary, listeners hear Anthony’s sharp wit, heartfelt grief, and unshakable resolve as she confronts political conventions, courtroom debates, and the everyday challenges of women’s suffrage. The narrative captures moments of triumph and setback—rallies in Chicago, a contentious Senate debate, and poignant tributes after the death of allies—while preserving the authentic cadence of her 19th‑century prose.

The second volume expands the story beyond America’s borders, following her investigative journeys through London, Paris, Berlin, and Dublin. In vivid travel sketches and candid exchanges with foreign reformers, she gauges international attitudes toward women’s rights and reflects on the cultural nuances that shape her own mission. Listeners gain a rare, intimate glimpse of a leader whose persistence helped forge the path toward voting equality, all conveyed through the very words she penned and spoke.
