Excerpt from History of Woman Suffrage, Vol. 3 of 3: 1876-1885
For the completion of this work we are indebted to Eliza Jackson Eddy, the worthy daughter of that noblephilanthropist, Francis Jackson. He and Charles F. Hovey are the only men who have ever left a generous bequest to the woman suffrage movement. To Mrs. Eddy, who bequeathed to our cause two-thirds of her large fortune, belong all honor and praise as the first woman who has given alike her sympathy and her wealth to this momentous and far-reaching reform. This heralds a turn in the tide of benevolence, when, instead of building churches and monu ments to great men, and endowing colleges for boys, women will make the education and enfranchisement of their own sex the chief object of their lives.
