A stop at the Susan B Anthony Birthplace in North Adams, MA.
 |
| Susan B Anthony Birthplace, where the suffragist was born in 1820 and lived in the house until the age of seven; she was raised as a Quaker |
 |
| Kitchen |
 |
| Birthing room with a copy of a quilt made by Anthony |
 |
| Anthony's parents, Daniel and Lucy, at first had a cotton mill and boarded the female factory hands, and also had a store to supply the needs of the workers |
 |
| A replica of the black dress that became the "uniform" worn by Anthony to represent dignity and leadership |
 |
| Hand in Hand is one of four castings (1895, by Mel Culbertson) of a handshake between Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton |
 |
| Black Suffragette caricature was used as propaganda to keep African-American women's right to vote separate from white women |
 |
| Typical suffragist outfit; women's-right- to-vote was only one of many causes championed by Susan B Anthony, from anti-slavery, temperance, women's rights (equal pay and property ownership), and dress reform (i.e., bloomers) |
 |
| Hydrangea paniculata 'Renhy'/Vanilla Strawberry |
 |
| These were in full bloom across New York and Massachusetts |
