Susan B. Anthony
After the Civil War, discouraged that those working for "*****" suffrage were willing to continue to exclude women from voting rights, Susan B. Anthony became more focused on woman suffrage. She helped to found the American Equal Rights Association in 1866, and in 1868 with Stanton as editor, became publisher of Revolution. Stanton and Anthony founded the National Woman Suffrage Association, larger than its rival American Woman Suffrage Association with which it finally merged in 1890.

everyone has provided really good answers. it might also be interesting for you to take a look at the relationship between the suffrage movement and the early civil rights movement.
They championed eachother (ie, Frederick Douglass).
The women of the suffrage were also major catalysts for Prohibition.
Also, Hannah mention Stanton..the full name is Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Lydia Taft, Charlotte Bronte (Eng), Flannery O'Connor, Ayn Rand (libertarian/conservative author), Geraldine Ferrara is wirth mentioning even though she ran for VP in the eighties, you could use her and Clinton to show progress from suffrage til now.
