Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) NY

Susan B Anthony
  • Her relentless perseverance changed our world.
  • Dedicated over ½ century to advocating for women and their right to vote.
  • Collaborated with Harriet Tubman and Fredrick Douglass to service the underground railroad.

Quotes:

“Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.”

 

“Woman must not depend on the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.”

 

"There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth."

 

"There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers."

 

"To be wedded to an idea may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages."
