=Susan B. Anthony=

She was a well known American Civil Rights leader and she played a vital role in the 19th Century women's rights movement to introduce women's suffrage into the United States. She traveled the United States and averaged 75 to 100 speeches a year. At 29 she became a secretary for the //Daughters of Temperance// which gave her a forum to speak out against acohol abuse. This eventually led to her reading the //New York Tribune// which had an article on National Women's Rights. After that she then dedicated herself to women suffrage. She also campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's rights to their own property and earnings, and women's labor organizations. In 1900, Anthony persuaded the University of Rochester to admit women. She was active, agressive, and passionate by nature. She never married, but she had a keen mind and inspired many.
