and committee’s that were aimed at improving the lives of women and African

rights to vote.

During her life, Susan B. Anthony was involved in many activist groups, and published
many books in the hopes to abolish slavery and help women’s suffrage. In 1905,
Anthony met with the current president, Theodore Roosevelt, to discuss lobbying
an amendment to give women the right to vote. Sadly, on March 13, 1906, Anthony
died in her home in Rochester, New York at the age of 86. It wasn’t until 1920 –
14 years after Anthony’s death, that the 19th amendment was passed,
which gave all women above the age of 18 the right to vote.

In 1872, Anthony was arrested for illegally voting in the presidential election.
She tried fighting the charges, but was still taken into custody, and was fined
$100, which she refused to pay. When people found out about Anthony’s arrest,
they were outraged, and the movement to grant women’s rights started growing
more than ever.
