Answer 5

Susan B. Anthony was was born in 1820.  She became a teacher and was eventually head of the Female Department at Canahajorie Academy (1846-9).  She left teaching to manage the family farm, and worked for the temperence and anti-slavery movements.  With her sister she attended the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls (1848) and in 1850 met her lifelong friend and collaborator Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

In 1852, Anthony was prevented from speaking at a temperence rally because of her s*x, and this led to the founding of the Women's State Temperence Society of New York under Stanton;s presidency.  during the 1850s, she continued her temperence work, acted as agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society (1856-61) and demanded equal voting rights and equal pay for women in the New York State Teacher's Association.  From 1854 she organized canvassing and petitions for suffrage and for the passing of the Married Women's Property Act (1860).

After the Civil War she concentrated on the suffrage fight, leading exhausting cahmpaigns in New York and Kansas.  From 1868 to 1870 she edited Revolution, a radical crusading journal demanding suffrage, equal education, opening of employment opportunities, and encouraging women to form trade unions.  To pay the debt incurred by the paper she undertook prodigious speaking tours to the Midwest and West Coast until 1876.

In May 1869, with STanton, she formed the National Woman Suffrage Association, of which she became the driving spirit, although her view that black suffrage should be delayed until that of women, and her opinions on divorce, labour problems and campiagn tactics caused later splits in the movement.  She was active in the succesful campaign in wyoming (1870) campaigned in California (1871) Michigan (1874) Philadelphia (1876) and Colorado (1877), and orchestraded a nationwide campaign in 1878.  From 1881 to 1886 she wrote History of Woman Suffrage with Stanton and Matilda Gage, and in 1889 she called the meeting which founded the International Council of Women in London.  In 1890 the National and American Woman Suffrage Associations: she succeeded Stanton as President in 1892 and in 1904 with Carrie Chapman Catt she founded the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in Berlin.  Often impatient and demanding, Susan B. Anthony was an indomitable figure in the women's labour and civil rights movements and is honoured in America as a pioneer feminist.

I'm not really sure, but i think she was the one who designed the American Flag. I like that statement. It means to me, men are not gods, and women are not children.
