“But with such women consecrating their lives failure is impossible.”

Last words spoken in public by Susan B. Anthony—
her birthday, 1906.

“Most of those who worked with me in the early years have gone. I am here for a little time only and my place will be filled as theirs was filled. The fight must not cease; you must see that it does not stop.”

Susan B. Anthony.

TO THE INSPIRED, DEVOTED, UNTIRING, AND SELF-
SACRIFICING MEMBERS OF THE WOMAN’S PARTY,
AND IN ESPECIAL TO THOSE WHOSE WORK CANNOT
FOR LACK OF SPACE BE MENTIONED HERE OR
WHOSE EFFORTS MAY NEVER EVEN IN THE FUTURE
BE PROPERLY APPRECIATED, THIS BOOK
IS ADMIRINGLY AND REVERENTLY DEDICATED.
