Susan B. Anthony (women's rights activist)

Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was a prominent American women's rights activist known for her relentless fight for women's suffrage—the right to vote. She co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association and played a key role in organizing campaigns, rallies, and petitions to advance women's rights. Notably, she was arrested for voting in 1872, boldly challenging the law at the time. Her efforts helped lay the groundwork for the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. Anthony’s advocacy was integral to advancing gender equality in the United States.
