Inscription. The History of Woman Suffrage in Four Volumes is the documentary masterpiece from 50 years of co-operative teamwork between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Both were outstanding leaders in the campaign for women's equal rights.

During the year 1884 Stanton and Anthony lived right here in Johnstown to write Volume III of their documentary.

Mrs. Stanton lived with her sisters in the old family home; and Susan Anthony was only a block away, where she boarded at Mrs. Henry's house.

Before you is Mrs. Henry's House, and in it the same pleasant "Parlor Chamber" where Susan B. Anthony devoted the year 1884 preparing Volume III for The History of Woman Suffrage.
