Why was she chosen to be on a (I'm assuming the first female) U.S. coin? It's not just because of her sewing skill, right?

Susan Brownell Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was a prominent, independent and well-educated American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in the 19th century women's rights movement to secure women's suffrage in the United States. She traveled thousands of miles throughout the United States and Europe, and gave 75 to 100 speeches per year on women's rights for some 45 years. Susan B. Anthony died in Rochester, New York, on March 13, 1906, and is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Susan B. Anthony's lifelong goal was to gain voting rights for women and equal rights for all.

That coin was pretty bad, and the artist depicted her as a one, nasty feminist, scowling at something we cannot see. No one should be surprised that the coin didn't become very popular.

She was a women's rights leader.
The only reason she was on a coin was to pacify some liberal guilt. Same with Sacagawea.
