Susan Brownell Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was a prominent, independent and well- educated American civil rights leader, who, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, led the effort to secure women's suffrage in the United States.
Anthony was born and raised in Adams, Massachusetts, the daughter of Quakers. Susan B. Anthony was the second born of eight children in a strict Quaker family. Susan was a precocious child and she learned to read and write at the age of three.
National suffrage organizations
In 1869, Anthony and Stanton founded the National Woman's Suffrage Association, an organization dedicated to gaining women the right to vote. Anthony was vice-president-at-large of the National Woman's Suffrage Association (NWSA) from the date of its organization until 1892, when she became president.
