So who was Susan B. Anthony anyway?
Susan B. Anthony was one of the most influential and effective organizers of the movement to give American women the right to vote. She dedicated her life to this cause. Her ardent belief was that because women were citizens they had the right to vote. In order to assert her Constitutional rights, she submitted a ballot in an election. Because of this, she was put on trial and fined for illegal voting. Talk about bravery! She lived from 1820 to 1906 and paved the way for women to be considered equal to men.
“The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball -- the further I am rolled the more I gain.”—Susan B. Anthony
