Susan B. Anthony?

Question

What did she do and how did it change the United states' history?

Answer 1

After teaching at a female academy in upstate New York (1846-49), she settled in her family home, now near Rochester, N.Y., and began her first public crusade, on behalf of temperance. Discouraged by the limited role that women were allowed in the established temperance movement, Anthony helped found the Woman's State Temperance Society of New York, one of the first organizations of its kind. From 1852 on, she joined her friends Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Amelia Bloomer in campaigns for women's rights, even for a time donning the "bloomer" costume of skirt and loose trousers as a sign of protest against the restrictiveness of women's clothing. After 1854 she devoted herself with vigour and determination to the antislavery movement, serving from 1856 to the outbreak of the Civil War (1861) as an agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Later, collaborating with Stanton, she published the New York liberal weekly The Revolution (1868-70) and, calling for equal pay for women, helped organize the New York Working Women's Association. In 1872, demanding for women the same civil and political rights extended to male blacks under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, 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, tried to vote again in city elections. She was thereafter tried and convicted of violating the voting laws but successfully refused to pay the fine. From then on she campaigned tirelessly 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 and in the western territories.

With her close associates Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage she compiled and published The History of Woman Suffrage, 4 vol. (1881-1902). In 1888 she organized the International Council of Women and in 1904 the International Woman Suffrage Alliance. At meetings in London (1899) and Berlin (1904) she was acclaimed worldwide for her pioneer contribution to women's rights.
