Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was an American social reformer, abolitionist and advocate for women”s rights. She was a key player in the fight for women”s suffrage and, in 1878, she and fellow-suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton, presented an amendment to Congress calling for the right for women to vote. This amendment, known colloquially as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, would be ratified by Congress and became the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920.Tireless in her pursuit of women”s rights, Anthony traveled extensively and gave as many as 75-100 speeches a year, one of which is her famous oration, “On the Women”s Right to Vote, ” delivered in 1873, contained in this volume.
