Susan Brownell Anthony\u00a0(February 15, 1820 \u2013 March 13, 1906) was a\u00a0social reformer and feminist\u00a0who played a pivotal role in the women’s suffrage<\/a>\u00a0movement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rotunda of the U.S. Capitol\u00a0contains a statue that honors three leading women’s rights leaders: Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton<\/a>, and\u00a0Lucretia Mott<\/a>. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine\u00a0in Manhattan, one of the world’s largest, has a sculpture honoring four spiritual heroes of the twentieth century: Anthony, Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein and Mohandas Gandhi.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1936, the U.S. Post Office issued its first postage stamp honoring Susan B. Anthony.\u00a0A second stamp honoring Anthony was issued in April 1958.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1979, the\u00a0United States Mint<\/a>\u00a0began issuing the\u00a0Susan B. Anthony dollar<\/a>\u00a0coin, the first U.S. coin to honor a real woman rather than an allegorical female figure.\u00a0The\u00a0Nineteenth Amendment<\/a>, which guaranteed the right of women to vote, was named the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. After it was ratified in 1920, the\u00a0National American Woman Suffrage Association<\/a>, whose character and policies were strongly influenced by Anthony, was transformed into the\u00a0League of Women Voters<\/a>, which is still an active force in U.S. politics.<\/strong><\/p>\n
