The Woman \Vho Changed the Mind of a Nation. By Rheta Chitde Dorr. Stokes. l\Irs. Dorr has had no . dearth of material to contend with in the preparation of her life of Susan . B. Anthony. The copious "History of the vVoman's Party" is also a history of Miss Anthony's activities over a p< riod of lifty-three years, and was compiled by Miss Anthony herself, Elizabeth Cady Etanton, Ida Husted Harper, and ~f <~ tilda Jocelyn Gage. As early as 1898 Ida Husted Harper published the first two volumes of her very full biog raphy, and a third volume was added immediately aft er Miss Anthony's death. .:\[ rs. Dorr is emphatically and at all time s "for" Susan B. Anthony. She has profited by the contemporarv biographical method in intimacy of approach and detail to give an air of objectivity to a rca11y partisan biography.
