I don't read a lot of biographies, but this is fantastic. Full of primary sources, too. Lynn Sherr is an excellent journalist and author. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812927184, Paperback)

Juxtaposed with contemporary reports and biographical essays, the words of this legendary suffragist reveal Susan B. Anthony as a loyal, caring friend, and an eloquent, humorous crusader. "More than a collection of well-arranged quotations, the work informs, inspires, and gives historical perspective."--The Houston Post. 33 photos & illustrations.
