Temperance, anti-slavery, woman suffrage,--three pregnant questions,--presented themselves, demanding her consideration.

Higher, ever higher, rose their appeals, until she resolved to dedicate her energy and thought to the burning needs of the hour.

Owing to early experience of the disabilities of her sex, the first demand for equal rights for women found echo in Susan's heart.

And, though she was in the beginning startled to hear that women had actually met in convention, and by speeches and resolutions had declared themselves man's peer in political rights, and had urged radical changes in State constitutions and the whole system of American jurisprudence; yet the most casual review convinced her that these claims were but the logical outgrowth of the fundamental theories of our republic.
At this stage of her development I met my future friend and coadjutor for the first time.

How well I remember the day! George Thompson and William Lloyd Garrison having announced an anti-slavery meeting in Seneca Falls, Miss Anthony came to attend it.
