February 15 Birthday: Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony, civil rights activist
February 15, 1820-March 13, 1906
Susan B. Anthony by Alexandra Wallner (Holiday House, 2012)
Instrumental in crusading for women's rights, Anthony's voice, though unpopular with some, could not be denied. And eventually the US Congress listened. The Nineteenth Amendment was passed and since 1920, women have had the right to vote.
