No one noticed Anna at first, a fact which seems incredibly unlikely knowing her past outspokeness.
But she quietly walked into Haven politics immediately after she got here, in October of 20HY, attending the meetings, and she was…more reserved. Apparently changed by learning what her original fate had in story for her. She sat quietly in the audience and occasionally made a suggestion. She never asked for information she could find out other ways, unlike a lot of people. She often was found at the library, first learning to use the computer and then using it quite a lot. Eventually getting on the new social media but not posting much there.
There’s an alternate interpretation, of course, that she just had run out of things to argue about, that she had been on the right side of history about literally everything and the world now agreed with her. The woman who had been 120 years ahead of her time found herself in a universe that was even farther, at least in what it believed.
Regardless the reason, she slowly got a reputation as a rational well-read audience member, the sort you called on because you knew she’d have something relevant to say and not ramble inanely for five minutes. No one had even noticed that the ‘Anna Dickinson’ who spoke up at meetings sometimes was the literally one of the most famous public speaker in America at one point.
The Tuesday Group, trying to rebuild itself and buffeted by a bunch of random yahoos that social media had brought into the audience, invited her to join them at the table at shortly into January, 21HY.
