The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony (Volume 1 of 2)

CHAPTER XII
6/43

The next day Mrs.
Stanton would seek the quietest spot in the house and begin writing, while Miss Anthony would give the children their breakfast, start the older ones to school, make the dessert for dinner and trundle the babies up and down the walk, rushing in occasionally to help the writer out of a vortex.

Many an article which will be read with delight by future generations was thus prepared.

Mrs.Stanton describes these occasions in her charming Reminiscences: It was mid such exhilarating scenes that Miss Anthony and I wrote addresses for temperance, anti-slavery, educational and woman's rights conventions.

Here we forged resolutions, protests, appeals, petitions, agricultural reports and constitutional arguments, for we made it a matter of conscience to accept every invitation to speak on every question, in order to maintain woman's right to do so.

It is often said by those who know Miss Anthony best, that she has been my good angel, always pushing and guiding me to work.
