Note: Eventhough, today we celebrate the National Holiday known by the majority of citizens as "Presidents Day," because the media reinvented what is officially still called "Washington's Birthday," we're keeping focused on Susan B. Anthony's birthday and life's achievements.
Today's Historical Moment from Our Flag
[ Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, the first coin with a woman on it = public domain image ]
One of America's most well known historical figures, and the one most thought of when discussing women's rights, Susan B. Anthony was born on this date, February 15th, in 1820, in Massachusetts. Early in her life, at age 17, she began her first fight for the right of Americans - in this case, collecting petitions to end slavery. Beginning, in 1851, she partnered with Elizabeth Cady Stanton to aggressive work on women's right - first and foremost the right to vote. Anthony and Stanton pushed for women's right to vote, also known as Women's Suffrage, by setting up national organizations to rally support and push the US Congress and President to listen.
Anthony (pictured below) worked tirelessly on suffrage by travelling to give as many as 100 speeches a year. Eventually, Anthony's and Stanton's hard work paid off when, in 1878, US Senator Sargent of California introduced the 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote. Unfortunately, and unbelievablly, it took 42 years, until 1920, after Anthony passed away 14 years earlier, to ratify the Amendment empowering women with the ability to vote for elected official
