About this source

What it is

This is an audio recording of Alma Lutz's biography Susan B. Anthony: Rebel, Crusader, Humanitarian, made for LibriVox. The reader is a volunteer named PhyllisV, and the recording is dedicated to the public domain. The recording is a modern reading of the text, not the voice of Anthony or of the author. The first chapter is titled Quaker Heritage.

Why it matters

This recording lets students hear Lutz's account of Anthony's life in a spoken form. It is a later account of Anthony, so it reflects how a twentieth-century writer and a modern volunteer chose to present her story. Listening to it can show how a biography reaches a new audience.

Look closer

  • How does hearing the book read by a volunteer change the way the story is presented?
  • What does the reader's summary praise, and what might a summary leave out?
  • Why might a biography of Anthony be made available as an audio recording today?

This book is part of the curated material that grounds the AI version of Susan B. Anthony on Humy.ai — when students ask about related events, the AI can quote it and cite it.
