What were Susan B. Anthony's goals?

Answer 1

Susan B. Anthony was extremely active not only in the anti-slavery movement, but also contributed a huge amount of time and effort for equal rights for women. Once she found out that the male teachers in Canajoharie, New York were receiving a monthly pay of ten dollars a month while the female teachers were only receiving two dollars and fifty cents a month she and her entire family went to the 1848 Rochester WomanÕs Rights Convention. Apropos, her Quaker upbringing, her stand for anti-slavery reforms and her passion for equal rights; this was the real beginning to Anthony's contribution to the women's movement. Starting in 1853, she began campaigning for equal property rights for women. She did this by getting petitions signed, speaking at meetings and lobbying for state legislatures. In 1854, she spoke at the National Women's Rights Convention, urging for more campaigns and petitions. Then,1856, Anthony begin writing publications and leaflets for equal rights. In 1868, Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton became the newspaper editors for the movement's publication known as the 'The Revolution'. In 1872, she was arrested for leading a band of women to the polls where they voted in the election. She was tried, found guilty and ordered to pay a one hundred dollar fine. She refused to pay the fine and the judge let her refusal stand. By letting Anthony off the hook for the fine, it denied her the right to file an appeal and take her case to the Supreme Court of the United States. Anthony served on numerous boards and committees for equal rights in her life time. The Nineteenth Amendment, that was passed in 1920, giving equal rights to women, was called the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.
