Anthony, niece of Susan B. Anthony. More than half the women represented by their own series were from Illinois; Catharine Waugh McCulloch and three other women represented were lawyers. For biographical information and a description of the contents, see the inventory for each series. Series XI consists of copies of documents from the Woman's Rights Collection, made for Mary Earhart Dillon by Edna Stantial; these have been included in the microfilm edition as a convenience to researchers.
