INVOLVEMENT
Susan B. Anthony Called on editor Horace Greeley one day in 1860 to ask for his newspaper's support for women's suffrage. Greeley was not sympathetic. He was an opponent of women's rights, mainly because he considered women to be of no military value. "What would you do, " he asked, "in the event of a civil war?"
"I would do just what you would do, " she replied. "I would sit in my office and write articles urging other people to go and fight."
