Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was born in Adams, Massachusetts, and died
in Rochester, New York. She was a women's rights activist who was a central figure in
the women's suffrage movement. Susan B. Anthony heard Mary Baker Eddy speak in Chicago
in 1888, and she received Christian Science Primary class instruction with Laura
Lathrop, a student of Eddy's, in the previous year. In 1903, Anthony sent Eddy a copy of
Vol. IV of
History of Woman Suffrage, which Anthony edited. In
her cover letter, Anthony told Eddy, "I find your name on our Suffrage books way back in
the olden time and I believe you must be still interested in the subject… I
remember of hearing you speak in the Chicago Music Hall a good many years ago; that is
the only time I remember of seeing you."
