Includes a chapter between pages [141]-157 on Susan B. Anthony's Birthday on February 15th celebrating Anthony and women in general. On page 144 is a picture of a bust of Anthony by Adelaide Johnson, a sculptor who created the first monument to the Women's Movement: the Portrait Monument to Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, which stands in the United States Capitol Rotunda. This is Johnson's own copy with her signature and address in New York (where she maintained a studio at 37 West 12th Street), and noting page 144 on the front fly.

Johnson devoted herself to woman's rights and suffrage, and frequently created works celebrating prominent women.
