Journalist, editor, and social reformer (1805–1879) best known as one of the most ardent and influential abolitionists in the decades leading up to the Civil War. AQS, signed “Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Roxbury,” dated March 31, 1878. Garrison pens a quote based on a Robert Burns song. 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. The original song, entitled ‘Is There for Honest Poverty,’ is more commonly known as ‘A Man’s A Man For A’ That.’ Written by Burns c. 1795 in a heavy Scottish Gaelic dialect, it’s famous for its expression of egalitarianism, and foreshadows the rise of liberalism in the 19th century. 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.
