Set alongside both national and global news, the article draws context from its time. Ida Husted Harper was a suffragist and author who wrote the three-volume biography of Susan B. Anthony at Anthony's own request. A prominent figure in women's suffrage, she traveled extensively delivering lectures in support of women's rights focused on building toward the longterm goals of the movement via sustainable, focused action. "The experiment must develop gradually, and while the process is going on some of the newly enfranchised women will become violently partisan, will scramble for office, and will seek personal glory. They are only the bubbles on a deep and silent stream. In the years to come the nationwide enfranchisement of women will cause a peaceful revolution in the social, economic and political situation as it now exists and will fully justify the hopes of its intrepid and persistent advocates," Harper writes in her review.
