Program Description
Event Details
Professor Tamar Carroll will discuss recent additions to the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House Collection. The program highlights several significant new acquisitions related to Susan B. Anthony and the history of women’s rights. These include an 1896 plaster statuette (“Potterine”) of Anthony by Bessie Potter Vonnoh—the first commercially successful female sculptor in the United States—along with Susan B. Anthony’s guest book, which documents visitors to her Madison Street home from 1904 to 1907 and was later continued by her niece Lucy Anthony and suffrage leader Anna Shaw in 1924. The program also features small metal sculptures of Anthony and related ephemera created by sculptor Suzanne Benton during the height of second-wave feminism in the early 1970s, illustrating how Anthony’s legacy has been interpreted across generations.
About the speaker: Tamar Carroll, PhD is Chair of the Department of History at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
