Dickinson (1842-1932), devout Quaker; her father, who was a staunch abolitionist, died from a heart attack after giving an agitating anti-slavery speech in 1844, when Anna was only two years old; In 1860, Anna made her first speech on Womans rights and Wrongs before the Association of Progressive Friends; probably the greatest honor of her life was an invitation to speak in the Hall of Representatives.
