Victoria Woodhull, a radical social campaigner and one of the first female stockbrokers, had announced her candidacy in 1870.

When reading The Moonstone, written by Wilkie Collins, I found myself asking the same question over and over again. What are these characters hiding? That is a key element to a mystery that Collins does magnificently. It is said that The Moonstone is the first true detective novel in the English language. The premise of the mystery is circled around a diamond. A diamond that is “cursed” and has a history of being stolen. This priceless gem is given to Rachel Verinder at her 18th birthday party. That same night it goes missing and the next morning the household is in disarray. The First Period is a narrative of how the events took place by Gabriel Betteredge, the house-steward of Lady Verinder, Rachel’s mother.

Anthony’s first paid position was headmistress of the girls department of Canajoharie Academy in 1846. During this time she was deeply troubled by the fact that women received much lower wages than their male counterparts for equal work. She returned to the family farm in Rochester New York when Canajoharie Academy closed in 1849. At this time she began to be fully involved in reform work. She was introduced to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 who had played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The two of them formed a lifelong friendship and ever after were constant partners in the battle for women’s rights and social justice. Their relationship was complimentary: Stanton did the writing and came up with ideas while Anthony excelled at organizing and delivering speeches. Her methods of raising public awareness and building grassroots support for social causes are still in use by political parties today.
