Beginning with childhood days and the moving of the family into the heart of the forest wilderness where untold hardships were bravely borne, it follows her determined and successful fight for an excellent education, her struggles in Michigan as the first woman clergyman in the Methodist church, and her long leadership with Susan B. Anthony in the suffrage movement.” — A.L.A. Catalog 1926
