Susan B. Anthony’s 200th Birthday

February 2, 2020

“There will never be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”

-Susan B. Anthony

2020 is a special year.

People have celebrated the birthday of Susan B. Anthony, one of the most notable women’s rights and anti-slavery activists, on February 15, ever since her days in Rochester, New York, where she spent her 40 most active years, and where she is now buried. Born in 1820, we mark the 200th anniversary of her birth, but also the 100th anniversary of the passage of the “Anthony Amendment” in 1920, enshrining women’s right to vote. A luncheon is held in her honor, every year; this year, to mark the special occasion, a dinner will be held on February 12, at the Joseph A. Floreano Riverside Convention Center, where producer, musician, author, and CEO Tena Clark will be the keynote speaker.

As the designer of a collection inspired by a pioneering female lawmaker, I naturally wanted to be involved in the celebration of the woman who paved the way for Louise to be able to vote and create laws herself. We are very pleased to donate a custom suit from the Louise Collection; attendees at the dinner who make a donation of $100 or more will be eligible to win this suit, and donations will benefit the Susan B Anthony House and Museum.

About Robert Jeffery

Robert Jeffery Diduch has a degree in Haute Couture and is the current SVP of Design at Hickey Freeman, The Temple of Fine Tailoring, and had promised Congresswoman Louise Slaughter he would make her a suit - because Hickey Freeman® only makes men's suits. Sadly, she passed before he could fulfill his promise but he proceded anyway, designing and sewing suits in his basement, to ensure all women of distinction would be able to have their own luxury tailored garment.

Jeffery is one of only a handful of designers in the world who can design, sew, and manufacture a tailored suit - every step of the process - all by himself. Fortunately for him, though, he has help, and The Louise Collection is manufactured in the Hickey Freeman Factory in Rochester, NY.
