Show S. H. Honors Women's Leader SUGAR HOUSE club of the Business and Professional Women is first in the Utah Federation to raise funds to assist with the purchase of a bust of Susan B. Anthony, which is to be placed in the Hall of Fame on the New York University campus. The announcement of the campaign was made on the one hundred and thirty-first anniversary of Miss Anthony's birth following a formal invitation by this Hall of Fame to the National Federation to undertake the project. Miss Olivia Johnson, chairman of the project, said: "Of the three great emancipators in the history of this country, Susan B. Anthony alone has been forgotten. Washington Wash-ington freed only 13 colonies from the domination of England; Eng-land; Lincoln freed only a few thousand Negroes from the people who owned them. But Susan B. Anthony gave 60 million women the right to be individuals in the eyes of the law." "My chattels are these my house, my barn, my good horse Daisy, and my wife." That is the sort of bookkeeping men used to do. But not even the boldest husband would write that list today. Women have the rights of men today because a few progressive crusaders harangued and pleaded to persuade men that liberty and equality were meant for females as well as males. Women should begin by demanding a third national holiday holi-day on February 15 in honor of Susan B. Anthony each year on her birthday. |
