Born in North Adams, Massachusetts,
Susan B. Anthony (1820 - 1906) became a spokesperson for temperance, abolition, and woman suffrage.
Although she did not attend the 1848 Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls because she was teaching at Canajahorie Academy. Soon after
meeting Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she quit teaching and devoted her life to the reform movement. Their efforts led to organizing different women's groups for over fifty years.
Arrested for voting illegally in Rochester, New York, in the reelection of Ulysses S. Grant, Anthony spoke in her own defense. Although she did not live to see the day, her tireless struggle for women's rights legalized the vote for American women in 1920.
