Eastern Victory

Eastern Victory was a Saxon Motor Car Company roadster purchased for Anna Howard Shaw in 1915.

[1] Shaw was brought into New York City believing she was attending an important meeting, but instead was given the car, a Saxon Roadster, dubbed "Eastern Victory.".

Let me tell you, sir, to a woman who has been cranking up suffrage forty years, playing with a little toy like this has no terrors.

[4][5] It was a form of "passive protest" against the government which was not allowing women to vote, but still taxing their property.

[9] Seizing the car made it a symbol of the fight for women's suffrage in the United States.

[13] In August 1915, Shaw received a larger yellow roadster dubbed "Eastern Victory No.

"[14] Lucy Anthony gave a speech at the Ho-ho-kus Fair standing in Eastern Victory in September 1915.
