Susan Brownell Anthony (Massachusetts, 1820) is remembered for her tireless activism throughout the 19th century. Despite dedicating her life to defending women's right to vote, she was one of many who never exercised it.

Nicknamed "The Bold Woman," Anthony didn't just stand up for women's rights. In 1866 she founded, along with fellow suffragist Elizabeth Stanton, the American Association for Equal Rights, which supported different social struggles, including the abolition of slavery. She also advocated for women's right to property and divorce and spoke out in favor of more comfortable and less restrictive clothing for them.

In 1872, a time when she became well known, Anthony was arrested and tried for voting in the presidential election. She was found guilty and sentenced to pay a $100 fine. In her later years, she co-wrote a story on women's suffrage, participated in negotiating the merger of the country's suffragette groups, and continued to tour the country advocating for voting rights. Finally, he died in New York in 1906.
