Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony was the unofficial leader of the women's suffrage movement. Her drive to attain equal rights for women began when she was a child. She was raised a Quaker on her fathers side, but on her mothers side, she was home schooled and shown how unfairly women were being treated. When she was grown she wrote various articles for the revolution to gain public support. She argued the 14th amendment applied not only for white men but also for women and African Americans. Because of this she gained a large following in that community as well. Towards the end of her political career Anthony wrote the dubbed "Anthony amendment" that would not pass congress on various occasions until 1920, years after her death, when the 19th amendment was passed.
