Susan B. Anthony was a pioneering activist for the women's right to vote. Presented is the opportunity to possess a Susan B. Anthony cut signature on a custom card. Anthony was born in 1820 into a Quaker family in Adams, Massachusetts. Her parents strongly supported social equality. Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1871, and the two worked together in the Women's Suffrage Movement. They founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1979, and Anthony became a leader in the Women's National Loyal League, a prime mover during the Civil War in the collection of almost 400,000 signatures on petitions that opposed slavery. Anthony died in 1906, but her years of effort for suffrage were a crucial factor in 1920 of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. Susan B. Anthony's image was on a new dollar coin in 1979. She was the first U.S. Woman honored with an image on the country's currency.
The offered signature is on a piece of white piece of paper or card stock measuring 0.5x4.5". The original card is 1- of-1. The card measures 3x5". On one side is a double Susan B. Anthony image, with one of the photos showing her as a young woman and the other photo depicting Anthony closer to the end of her career. The card back has a similar image to the front side image of Anthony as a young woman. Next to this photo is an Anthony quotation: "No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent." At the bottom of the back is a JSA sticker (BB55709), the same Cert. Number as that on the enclosed JSA LOA. Susan B. Anthony signed the cut signature with black ink from a steel-tip fountain pen. Anthony's signature has faded after well over a century, but it is neatly scripted and still clearly legible.
