From 1892-1900, Anthony was president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the leading organization fighting for women’s rights. In 1893, Colorado became the second state to grant women full voting rights. As a result of this signal success, Anthony determined to concentrate her efforts in 1894 on her home state of New York and attempt to make it the third. It was in this spirit that, on her 74th birthday, she wrote what was in effect a rallying cry for the movement that year.
Susan B. Anthony Autograph Quotation Signed, Rochester, New York, “1820 – Feb. 15 – 1894” – “Work for the enfranchisement of the women of your state & thereby best serve the cause of justice to all.” It was always Anthony’s position that the movement’s purpose was to secure equity, not to deprive men of something, and she has articulated this clearly here. Her 1894 campaign, however, was not successful, and it would be another 23 years before women were enfranchised in New York.
