Susan B. Anthony Coven Number 1 Manifesto

We believe that feminist witches are women who search within themselves for the female principle of the universe and who relate as daughters to the Creatrix.

We believe that, just as it is time to fight for the right to control our bodies, it is also time to fight for our sweet woman souls.

We believe that in order to fight and win a revolution that will stretch for generations into the future, we must find reliable ways to replenish our energies. We believe that without a secure grounding in women's spiritual strength there will be no victory for us.

We believe that we are part of a changing universal consciousness that has long been feared and prophesied by the patriarchs.

We believe that Goddess-consciousness gave humanity a workable, long-lasting, peaceful period during which Earth was treated as Mother and women were treated as Her priestesses.

We believe that women lost supremacy through the aggressions of males who were exiled from the matriarchies and formed the patriarchal hordes responsible for the invention of rape and the subjugation of women.

We believe that female control of the death principle yields human evolution.

We are committed to winning, to surviving, to struggling against patriarchal oppression.

We are committed to defending our interests and those of our sisters through the knowledge of witchcraft: to blessings, to cursing, to healing, and to binding with power rooted in women-identified wisdom.

We are equally committed to political, communal, and personal solutions.

We are committee to teaching women how to organize themselves as witches and to sharing our traditions with all women.

We are opposed to teaching our magic and our craft to men until the equality of the sexes is a reality.

Our immediate goal is to congregate with each other according to our ancient woman-made laws and to remember our past, renew our powers, and affirm our Goddess of the Ten Thousand Names.

Susan B. Anthony

Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.
- Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony dedicated her life to the cause, ... the woman suffrage movement. The accomplishments of Susan B. Anthony paved the way for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 (14 years after her death) which gave women the right to vote.

Her accomplishments include the following:

• Founded the National Woman's Suffrage Association in 1869 with life-long friend Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Together they worked for women's suffrage for over 50 years.
• Published "The Revolution" from 1868-1870, a weekly paper about the woman suffrage movement whose motto read, "Men their rights and nothing more, women their rights and nothing less."
• First person arrested, put on trial and fined for voting on November 5, 1872. Unable to speak in her defense she refuse to pay "a dollar of your unjust penalty."
• Wrote the Susan B. Anthony Amendment in 1878, which later became the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
• Helped found the National American Woman's Suffrage Association in 1890 which focused on a national amendment to secure women the vote. She served as president until 1900.
• Compiled and published The History of Woman Suffrage (4 vols. 1881-1902) with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage.
• Founded the International Council of Women (1888) and the International Woman Suffrage Council (1904) which brought international attention to suffrage.
• An organizational genius -- her canvassing plan is still used today by grassroot and political organizations.
• Gave 75-100 speeches a year for 45 years, traveling throughout the the United States by stage coach, wagon, carriage and train.
• Led the only non-violent revolution in our country's history -- the 72 year struggle to win women the right to vote.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton openly criticized her good friend Anthony for her stance, writing that Anthony and AWSA leader Lucy Stone, "... see suffrage only. They do not see woman's religious and social bondage." We of the Susan B. Anthony Coven Number 1 do see woman's religious and social oppressions. It's our intention to honor both these great women by bringing to the women's movement a strong spiritual foundation through philosophy and action.

Organize, agitate, educate, must be our war cry.
