Susan Brownell Anthony
Chia Saechao Period 3
This portrait illustrates Alice Paul, Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, four important women in American history drawn with manly facials because they were women who took stance at times when only men did.
Without the assistance of Susan B. Anthony, women all over the nation would have never been able to claim that they got the privilege to vote.
Susan B. Anthony and colleague Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the American Equal Rights Association, in hopes of gaining the suffrage of women and African American men, but to their disappointment, the organization failed to succeed.
However, Anthony and Stanton did not lose faith and the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) was soon established.
This organization, unlike the American Equal Rights Association, was successful.
Susan B. Anthony was a teacher before becoming an activist for the women’s suffrage movement so she knew how little women were paid compared to men and believed that a female should not endure the physical work when she cannot be treated fairly and cannot be paid the amount she should be paid.
Susan B. Anthony was arrested after registering and voting in the city of Rochester.
She was also fined $100 but the payment was never compensated.
“It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.”
-Susan B. Anthony
After her trial, she testified thatthe constitution stated that,
Susan B. Anthony’s involvement with the
University of Rochester
Susan B. Anthony has an effect on the University of Rochester, given that she was the one who got women admitted into the school.
Women, al l from diff erent backgrounds, celebrate their r ights given to them
in the 19 t h amendment, an amendment
that was made possible due to the contr ibut ions of Susan Brownel l Anthony.
This quote of hers is what pushed her to achieve what she set out to achieve, which was the equal treatment of women.
