Susan Brownell Anthony (1820-1906) was a tireless leader of the women’s rights movement, fighting over fifty years for women’s suffrage (the right to vote), equal education, property rights and even dress reform. In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became a lifelong friend, and the two formed a partnership devoted to winning the right to vote.

Famous Trials: Susan Anthony Trial

The Nineteenth Amendment giving women suffrage was passed fourteen years after Anthony’s death. “She would, however, once have the satisfaction of seeing her completed ballot drop through the opening of a ballot box. It happened in Rochester, New York on November 5, 1872, and the event and the trial for illegal voting that followed would create a opportunity for Anthony to spread her arguments for women suffrage to a wider audience than ever before.” In addition to details about the trial, Famous Trials has an Anthony biography, and 100-year timeline of women’s struggle for the vote.

Govinfo: Susan B. Anthony, Icon of the Women’s Suffrage Movement

“During the Civil War and the years that lead up to it, there was some strife as the suffragists were told to put their crusade aside since enslaved individuals were worse off than privileged white women. Anthony conceded that point, but reminded everyone that half the slaves were also women.” Best reason to visit this Govinfo page is the big list of additional resources that follow the autobiography. You’ll find PDFs of the Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Nineteenth constitutional amendments, and links to a dozen additional related subjects.

Library of Congress: Susan B. Anthony Papers

This collection of approximately 500 Susan B. Anthony items includes correspondence, diaries, scrapbooks, speeches, and other miscellaneous items. “Donated by her niece, Lucy E. Anthony, the papers relate to Susan B. Anthony’s interests in abolition and women’s education, her campaign for women’s property rights and suffrage in New York, and her work with the National Woman Suffrage Association, the organization she and Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded in 1869 when the suffrage movement split into two rival camps at odds about whether to press for a federal women’s suffrage amendment or to seek state-by-state enfranchisement.”
