What she did..

Susan B. Anthony was a caring American citizen that wanted to have the same rights as men. She is one of the many women that started the woman’s rights act. She once said “I revolted in spirit against the customs of society and the laws of the state that crushed my aspirations and debarred me from the pursuit of almost every object of an intelligent, rational mind." She made sure that her feelings were known.
Susan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. Her parents were hard workers and as Quakers they believed that "all men were created equal." From 1839 to 1849 Susan became a teacher and joined the Temperance Movement. She also became involved gatherings of men and women who spoke in public to express their opinions on women's suffrage.
Susan vowed to stand up for what she believed in: women's rights. She attended Temperance meetings but was not allowed to speak because of her gender. Of course she thought it was unfair that men were treated with more importance but women had no say in the matter.
In 1869, Susan became friends with a lady named Elizabeth Cady Stanton and they formed the National Women's Suffrage Association and worked to get women’s suffrage into the constitution. Susan and Elizabeth went to many voting polls even though it was against the law for women to vote. Once Susan was arrested and fined but she refused to pay. Then finally in 1920 after several hard years of work the 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote.
In 1872, Susan demanded that women be given the same civil and political rights that had been extended to black males under the 14th and 15th amendments. Thus, she led a group of women to the polls in Rochester to test the right of women to vote. She was arrested two weeks later and while awaiting trial, engaged in highly publicized lecture tours and in March 1873, she tried to vote again in city elections. After being tried and convicted of violating the voting laws, Susan succeeded in her refusal to pay the fine. From then on she campaigned endlessly for a federal woman suffrage amendment through the National Woman Suffrage Association (1869-90) and the National American Woman Suffrage Association (1890-1906) and by lecturing throughout the country.
