lyrics

February 1983

February fifteenth marks the 163rd anniversary of the birth of a phenomenal American. Each of us who believes in the rightness of the democratic process and in the expansion and exercise of human rights should mark this day with reflection and pride.

As the tenacious, outspoken and courageous leader of the protracted struggle for women's suffrage, Susan Brownell Anthony stands as an inspirational figure to today's feminists. We want to encourage all people, particularly the young, to read of Ms. Anthony's lifetime as an activist. We hope to impress upon them the reality that suffrage for women did not descend into this patriarchal culture as manna from heaven, but rather is attributable to the monumental efforts of many women (and some men who cared), led by this extraordinary woman.

Would it not be appropriate to set aside a day of national recognition of the woman most responsible for the enfranchisement of over half of the population? We, as participants in this second stage of feminism, will continue to honor Ms. Anthony's memory by making manifest her assertion that, "There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights as men have on this green earth."
