Biographical / Historical note
In 1945 the Susan B. Anthony house at 17 Madison Street in Rochester was purchased and established as a memorial. Martha Taylor Howard led the project to preserve the house and to make it into a depository for material related to Susan B. Anthony and the suffrage movement. Carrie Chapman Catt, successor to Susan B. Anthony as President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, was very much interested in the project, and encouraged suffragists to donate manuscripts and memorabilia to the House.
