AQS, signed “Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Roxbury,” on a 5 x 7.5 album page, dated March 31, 1878. Garrison pens a quote based on the Robert Burns song ‘Is There for Honest Poverty,’ more commonly known as ‘A Man’s A Man For A’ That.’ In full:
“Though woman never can be man,
By change of sex, and a' that,
To equal rights, 'gainst class or clan,
Her claim is just, for a' that.
For a' that, and a' that,
Her Eden slip, and a' that;
In all that makes a living soul
She matches man, for a' that!"

In fine condition, with a bit of scattered light toning to edges, and a rough left edge from removal. A fantastic signed quotation from Garrison, who has re-written this celebrated Robert Burns song and transformed it into a stirring anthem of women’s suffrage.
