A biography of the important advocate for women's suffrage, with transcripts of speeches and correspondence. Illustrated with portraits, pictures of homes, etc. Susan B. Anthony collaborated with Elizabeth Cady Stanton in efforts to abolish slavery and secure equal rights for women. Anthony's arrest in 1872 for violation of voting laws was an important event in the push for suffrage, though it would still take almost fifty more years before the passage of the nineteenth amendment in 1920. She is considered a very important figure in the history of Rochester, New York, where she spent much of her life. She is buried there at Mount Hope Cemetery, and each year advocates for equal rights visit her grave to honor her advocacy and activism. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2351905
