Do you have your calendar ready for the new year? If it was 1918, you could have this Susan B. Anthony calendar filled with rousing quotes from the suffragist.
Issued less than two years before the ratification of the 19th amendment, the page for January 1918 tells American women that “the hour for political action has come.”
This calendar (along with several other suffragist and women’s rights calendars) is part of the Adelaide Johnson papers in the Lisa Unger Baskin collection.
