5. Eleanor Flexner commented “Dr Shaw’s devotion was complete and her gifts were many, but administrative ability was not among them,” in Eleanor Flexner, Century of Struggle: The Woman’s Rights Movement in the United States (New York, NY: Atheneum, 1972), 241; Aileen Kraditor echoed Flexner, writing “Miss Shaw after becoming NAWSA’s president devoted her truly great oratorical powers to the suffrage cause, but by then speech-making was no longer the most important activity for a suffrage leader to engage in. The movement was stagnating, and Miss Shaw’s administrative deficiencies made the organization’s problems worse. By 1911 its internal splits and dissensions had become public knowledge,” in Aileen Kraditor, The Ideas of the Woman Suffrage Movement: 1890–1920 (New York, NY: W. W. Norton, 1981), 13.

The younger women whom Anthony gathered to work closely with her in daily administration were disliked by those outside this circle, hence, Stanton referred to them as “girls.” Rachel Foster was the first of these women to be given the honorary title of “niece” by Susan B. Anthony, and others followed.
