her impact on suffrage
Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was a major activist for women's rights and suffrage. She was the president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association from 1892-1900 and played a large role in promoting the ratification of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote.
Later on in her life, she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1969 along with fellow feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. And even after all of her efforts, women did not gain the right to vote until 14 years after her death.

aNTHONY'S MOTIVATION
Anthony's drive to gain suffrage started from her younger years. Her family was known to be abolitionist however Anthony was still denied the right to fight for her cause simply because she was a woman. Her love for politics helped Anthony reach the revelation that women would never be able to be politically involved unless they gained suffrage.
