What Is Susan Anthony Women's Rights Movement

Susan Anthony was born on February 15, 1820, in Massachusetts. She was an American abolitionist who became one of the most important in the women’s voting rights movement in the United States of America.
Susan was educated by her parents to become an independent woman in history. They knew for sure she was going to be able to accomplish many important goals, and change history forever. When she was six years old, the family moved to New York. She went to the local primary school and then went to the school that his father had founded and directed.
Her political activism began when she was small, but mature enough to be capable of knowing what to fix from her country to make it better and she was always guided by the example of her parents.
In 1848 she joined the anti-alcohol movement in which she campaigned for five years. While being part of this movement, she realized she needed to make a group exclusive for women against their rights and limitations, so she founded the Women's Society for Temperance of New York.

When she became an intimate part of feminism, she met Elizabeth Stanton, who at that time was also part of a women association. They had similar thoughts in how women deserved more rights, like men had. Stanton would become her partner and both would lead American feminism for the next five decades.

´´Susan B.
Anthony attended an anti-slavery conference, where she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Anthony managed the business of the women's rights movement while Stanton did most of the writing. Together they edited and published a woman's newspaper, the Revolution, from 1868 to 1870. In 1869, Anthony and Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association. They traveled all over the country promoting woman's rights.´´
These two women were fighting for their rights, and wanted to become leaders in society to promote equality for women, and make them powerful in their lives.

Anthony focused mainly on fighting for equal pay for women and to make their working conditions better. She participated in the creation of the Association of Working Women of New York. In 1869 she founded with Stanton the National Association for Women's Suffrage, which started to demand the right to vote for women.
´´On August 26 the Nineteenth Amendment was proclaimed by the secretary of state as being part of the Constitution of the United States. Women in the United States were enfranchised on an equal basis with men. The text reads as
follows:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.´´

The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Beginning in the 1800s, women demanded to win the right to vote, but it took a lot of time to accomplish their goal.
´´On August 18, 1920, Congress ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, which guaranteed the right to vote to all US citizens regardless of sex. The Nineteenth Amendment represented a major victory and a turning point in the women’s rights movement.´´

The Revolution, which was a newspaper encouraging the right to vote for women, was the official publication of the National Woman Suffrage Association formed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony to secure women´s right of
voting.
The Revolution’s saying was, “Principle, not policy; Justice, not favors.” The following said: “Men, their rights and nothing more; Women, their rights and nothing less.” Later editions had this saying: “The True Republic Men, their rights and nothing more; Women, their rights and nothing less.”
The Revolution’s influence on woman’s rights movement was huge. ´´As the official voice of the National Woman Suffrage Association the paper confronted subjects not discussed in most mainstream publications of the time including sex education, rape, domestic violence, divorce, prostitution and reproductive rights. It was instrumental in attracting working-class women to the movement by devoting columns to concerns such as unionization and discrimination against female workers.´´

Abolitionist’s Movement

Anthony’s family became involved in the fight to end slavery, also known as the abolitionist movement.
The Abolitionist movement in the United States of America was an effort to end slavery in a nation that valued personal freedom and believed “all men are created equal.” Abolitionists grew more in their demands, and their owners started complaining on how their slaves would be treated, and eventually led this to the American Civil War.
