Susan B. Anthony was born in Adams, Massachusetts on February 15th 1820. Susan B. Anthony was someone who fought for women’s rights all throughout her life. When Susan met Elizabeth Cady Stanton she was 31 and a schoolteacher. Yet she had already worked with other civil rights activists such as Frederic Douglass on issues that included temperance and abolition. Together the two women would start a newspaper titled The Revolution. Susan was able to organize parades, conventions and action groups. She also worked with other women’s organization such as The National Association of Colored Women and The American Woman Suffrage Association. Susan was able to become president of this group and had the two groups eventually merge into The National American Women’s Suffrage Movement. Susan was someone who was not afraid of doing what she thought was right. In 1872 Susan tried to vote for presidential candidature Ulysses S. Grant and was arrested, and fined one hundred dollars. Though Susan B. Anthony was never able to see her dream come true, she never gave up her fight for equality.
