Anthony and Stanton founded the American Equal Rights Association (AERA) and in 1868 became editors of its newspaper, The Revolution. The amendment did not, however, grant universal access to the vote. A rift appeared among those, like Stanton and Anthony and Frederick Douglass, who had been allies in the fight for universal suffrage.

In fact, one hundred plants descended from the original botanic garden were returned to Yorba Linda from Claremont College and some surround the ranch house. Even in her later years, Anthony never gave up on her fight for women’s suffrage. In 1905, she met with President Theodore Roosevelt in Washington, D.C., to lobby for an amendment to give women the right to vote. However, it wasn’t until 14 years after Anthony’s death that the 19th Amendment passed in 1920 to give all women the right to vote.

A cat had defecated under her reading chair, and the whole room stank. She found a wide flat space big enough for hundreds of women to gather in the mountains above Malibu, with a perfect view of the moon hanging over the sea. The gatherings took place every six weeks and included ritual invocations of the Goddess, poetry, music, dancing, food and homemade acid. Seven women attended the first meeting, including a PhD student at Berkeley and a taxi driver.
Museums and Honors
1995 – Year-long local and national commemorative events celebrate Susan B. Anthony’s 175th birthday, the 75th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, and the 50th anniversary of the Anthony Museum. The Gleason Foundation pledges a lead gift as the first capital campaign is launched. Parking is available in the lot next to the Visitors Center at 19 Madison Street. Please observe alternate-side parking restrictions in this area. Following Marlene back down the hallway, we found ourselves in the mud room.
Group tours, school programs, virtual programs, and special events are also offered throughout the year. Following the meeting, Stanton, Anthony and others formed the National Woman Suffrage Association and focused solely on a federal woman’s suffrage amendment. In an effort to challenge suffrage, Anthony and her three sisters voted in the 1872 Presidential election. When Anthony refused to pay a $100 fine and court costs, the judge did not sentence her to prison time, which ended her chance of an appeal. An appeal would have allowed the suffrage movement to take the question of women’s voting rights to the Supreme Court, but it was not to be.

A well-preserved and fascinating example of Arts and Crafts architecture, designed by Greene and Greene, it was built in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter & Gamble Company. Budapest believes her work as a public witch was essential, but like Baba Boogie, she is ready for a respite. She also believes there’s a wide audience for the Baba Boogie story, and she’s looking for an agent (if you happen to know anyone). Fiction, yes, but it’s easy to see parallels between Baba Boogie and the screenwriter, Zsuzsanna Budapest.
Before or after your tour you are invited to explore our museum shop as well as an exhibition space which features several objects original to the Anthony family. Susan B. Anthony House, in Rochester, New York, was the home of Susan B. Anthony for forty years, while she was a national figure in the women's rights movement. A doorway led into the kitchen, which looked as it would have appeared in the late 1920s and 1930s. People who picked up the receiver would’ve been on a party line, which meant five or six people were on the same line.
Susan B. Anthony is perhaps the most widely known suffragist of her generation and has become an icon of the woman’s suffrage movement. Anthony traveled the country to give speeches, circulate petitions, and organize local women’s rights organizations. Today the Susan B. Anthony House is a learning center and museum open to the public for tours and programs from 11-5 Tuesday through Sunday, except major holidays. The Visitor Center and Museum Shop are located in the historic house next door, 19 Madison Street, which was owned by Hannah Anthony Mosher, sister of Susan and Mary Anthony.
She planted the first commercial pomegranate grove in the state and eventually developed the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens, one of the first in California. Built in 1911, the Susana Bixby Bryant Museum used to be the main ranch house of the 5,000 acre Rancho Santa Ana. In 1875, John Bixby, one of the founders of Long Beach, purchased acres of land in what is now eastern Yorba Linda from the widow of Bernardo Yorba, after whom Yorba Linda is named. Bixby raised cattle and sheep on the rolling hills of North Orange County and named his property, Rancho Santa Ana, after the river that flowed adjacent to his land.
However, when Bixby died in 1891, his daughter inherited the ranch. Enjoy a collection of fascinating, historic pieces of Los Angeles architecture that were built as private residences. Budapest left Los Angeles for Oakland in 1980 and for the next 31 years wrote books and articles, gave lectures and held rituals at women’s conferences across the country. "Women studied with Z and then went on to form covens of their own," Magliocco said.
Douglass spent the final day of his life at a National Woman’s Council meeting, sitting with Anthony on the speakers’ platform. Five days later, Susan B. Anthony was one of the eulogists at his funeral. Orange crate labels decorated the walls of another room dedicated to Yorba Linda history. There were pictures of modern establishments with text behind them explaining what these locations used to be. In the middle of the room stood an enormous dollhouse from the very first docent who was responsible for setting up the museum.
In 1872, Susan B. Anthony led fifteen other women from this house at 17 Madison Street to a polling place around the corner on West Main Street (a barbershop, at the time), to demand to be allowed to vote. She used the 14th Amendment, which defined U.S. citizens as “All persons born or naturalized in the United States,” as her justification. At the 1856 National Women’s Rights Convention, Anthony served on the business committee and spoke on the necessity of the dissemination of printed matter on women’s rights.
The day before the proceedings Budapest held a news conference at the Los Angeles Press Club declaring herself the first witch to go on trial in 300 years. Fifteen minutes later, two plainclothes policemen barged into the store and arrested Budapest. At the time, Los Angeles municipal code Section 43.30 outlawed all fortunetelling, both for and without pay.
