Susan B. Anthony died on March 13, 1906 having dedicated her life to winning for women their political, civil, economic and educational rights.
At Anthony's funeral her close friend and ally in the suffrage movement, Anna Howard Shaw, said of Susan B. Anthony, "Hers was a heroic life."
The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections commemorated this heroic life with an exhibition of letters, photographs, printed material and memorabilia drawn from its extensive Anthony and woman suffrage collections. The exhibition opened on the 100th anniversary of Susan B. Anthony's death and continued through August 2006.
This digital exhibition was originally created in 2006 and was reformatted using the Omeka platform in 2020-2021.
