Portrait of Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
Susan B. Anthony defied social norms of femininity in the 19th century: she was unmarried, had no children, and most troubling to the male-dominated political establishment, spoke forcefully in public. Her activist inclinations were diverse, ranging from abolition and temperance to women’s rights. As one of the most recognized leaders of the suffrage movement to extend voting rights to women, Anthony traveled widely to advocate for women’s access to the vote.
