about

Everybody printed a newspaper back then. Susan and Mrs Stanton were no different. They went to NYC in the late-1860s to write and print The Revolution, a newspaper genuinely bold and unique for its time. They published interviews with Karl Marx, prostitutes, women falsely accused of murder, the language lit with the ardor of Susan and Mrs. Stanton. Nonetheless, The Revolution went quickly bankrupt (several times!) while her rival paper run up north by Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell continued to publish for many, many years.

lyrics

Susan and Mrs Stanton: "We raised $3,000 to start a women’s paper, called it The Revolution, commenced our publication. Right from the start we noticed subjects besides the suffrage would capture little interest and make the readers restless. But we’re with the working women. There’s no one else to defend them. We’re with the working women working toward revolution.
"Preachers quote Scripture freely to insure we’re all kneeling. They dream of Armageddon. We dream of revolution.
"Now on to prostitution! surprised you there with that one— that’s called a 'jump transition.' With prostitution common, let me pose you a question: is this an occupation you’d like a friend to be in? ‘Hey, watcha doin' Monday?’ ‘Uh, sleepin' with men for money. Perchance getting arrested. Perchance getting infected.’ Disease & destitution. Deluded worn-out women. They say there’s no solution. We say there’s revolution."

Lucy and Henry: "Exactly one year later we started our own paper, called it the Women’s Journal. (Now Susan has a rival.) Not everyone is okay with revolution each day, with rhetoric and bad news and worker-centric views. And all your ‘down with churches’ and all your anti-God stuff and your thing with divorces and soul’s who’ve 'lost their love.' The vote is what we all want. The vote is our whole reason. Not to destroy the system, just change the constitution."
