Anthony SUSAN BROWNELL, an American reformer
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
SUSAN BROWNELL, an American reformer, born in South Adams, Mass., Feb. 15, 1820, of Quaker parentage, taught school in New York in 1835- 1850. In 1847 she first spoke in public, taking part in the temperance movement and organizing societies. In 1852 she assisted in organizing the Woman's New York State Temperance Society; in 1854- 1855 she held conventions, in each county in New York, in behalf of female suffrage. In 1857 she became a leader in the anti-slavery movement, and in 1858 advocated the coeducation of the sexes. She was influential in securing the passage by the New York Legislature, in 1860, of the act giving married women the possession of their earnings, and guardianship of their children. In 1868, with Mrs. E. C. Stanton and Parker Pille Pillsbury, she began the publication of the "Revolution," a paper devoted to the emancipation of woman. Her last public appearance of note was as a delegate to the International Council of Women, in London, England, in 1899. In 1900 her birthday was celebrated by an affecting popular demonstration in Washington, D. C. She died March 13, 1906.
Anthony ST., FALLS OF
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
ST., FALLS OF, a noted fall in the Mississippi river, now within the city limits of Minneapolis, Minn. The perpendicular fall is 17 feet, with a rapid below of 58 feet. An island divides the river into two parts. The entire descent of the stream for threequarters of a mile is 65 feet. The falls and surrounding scenery, especially during the spring floods, are exceedingly picturesque.
Anthony ST., the founder of monastic institutions
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
ST., the founder of monastic institutions, born near Heraclea, in Upper Egypt, A. D. 251. Giving up all his property, he retired to the desert, where he was followed by a number of disciples, who thus formed the first community of monks. He died at the age of 105. As a saint of the Roman Catholic Church he is much esteemed.
Anthony ST., FALLS OF of Ricimer
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
ST., FALLS OF of Ricimer. Subsequently Ricimer became his enemy, and, in a war between them, Anthemius was killed.
What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's 1921 entry follows Susan B. Anthony to her death in 1906 without mentioning that the 19th Amendment — long nicknamed the Susan B. Anthony Amendment — had been ratified on 18 August 1920, giving American women the vote just months before the volume appeared; in 1979 she became the first woman on a circulating U.S. coin. The Falls of St. Anthony, praised here as "exceedingly picturesque," now run over a concrete apron built to stop the limestone ledge from eroding away, and the Upper St. Anthony Falls lock, opened in 1963, was closed by Congress in 2015 to block invasive carp from moving upriver. St. Anthony of Egypt is unchanged in outline — his Coptic monastery near the Red Sea still functions, and its medieval wall paintings were cleaned and restored in the 1990s and 2000s. The fourth item is a printer's wreck: the heading repeats "St., Falls of" but the text belongs to the emperor Anthemius, killed in 472 in his war with Ricimer.
