[The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony (Volume 1 of 2) by Ida Husted Harper]@TWC D-Link bookThe Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony (Volume 1 of 2) CHAPTER VI 7/47
We conceived a very unfavorable opinion of this _Miss_ Anthony when she performed in this city on a former occasion, but we confess that, after listening attentively to her discourse last evening, we were inexpressibly disgusted with the impudence and impiety evinced in her lecture.
Personally repulsive, she seems to be laboring under feelings of strong hatred towards male men, the effect, we presume, of jealousy and neglect.
She spent some hour or so to show the evils endured by the mothers, wives and daughters of drunkards.
She gravely announced that the evil is a great one, and that no remedy might hopefully be asked from licentious statesmen nor from ministers of the gospel, who are always well fed and clothed and don't care for oppressed women.
Prominent among the remedies which she suggested for the evils which she alleges to exist, are complete enfranchisement of women, allowing them the run of the legislative halls, ballot-box, etc.
