Title: Photograph, Susan B. Anthony
Creator: Unknown
Location: United States
Story: Champion of temperance, abolition and African American rights, the rights of labor, and equal pay for equal work, Susan B. Anthony devoted her life to organizing and leading the woman suffrage movement. Her strengths were discipline, energy, and organization and, after meeting Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851, their partnership dominated the movement for over 50 years. She was a member of the Equal Rights Association and then founded the National Woman Suffrage Association (1869), the radical wing of suffrage, pushing for a constitutional amendment. Anthony organized the Council of 1888, helping lay the groundwork for the re-unification of the suffrage associations in 1890 and led the unified National American Woman Suffrage Association until 1900. She remained active in the woman's movement until her death in 1906, fourteen years before women received the right to vote.
