Editor's Notes
Her life story shaped her personality to form the historical figure she is today. Her Quaker roots and activist father influenced her be a social activist early on and as Molly touched upon earlier she supported the cause of abolitionists, equal rights and temperance. It was only when she was not allowed to speak at state temperance convention she along with other women activists formed “Women’s State Temperance Society”
She learnt from her experiences. From a young age she was an active abolitionist. She and other women played key role in in passing of the 13th amendment. However, when male abolitionists, although supporters of women’s rights, believed that an active women’s rights movement would take away attention from the abolitionist movement and would negatively impact it, she realized that they were willing to sacrifice women’s voting right for the success of their cause. Hence she focused on women’s suffrage and formed The National Women’s Suffrage Association along with Elizabeth Stanton.
Anthony had the vision to realize that it was only voting rights that would effectively elevate women’s sufferings and allow them to have an impact on policy and society. Hence while other activists were involved in many other aspects of women’ issues, Susan B Anthony was focused primarily on the suffrage movement and was willing to go to any length to achieve her purpose. This led to a split the women’s movement in two bitter rival associations .i.e. the NWSA and AWSA. The rivalry lasted more than 20 years. In order to prove that the constitution already gave women the right to vote, she attempted to cast her vote in the general elections of 1872. She got arrested and refused to pay her fine.
Miss Anthony for the success of her cause was willing to go to any lengths and some of her actions were questionable. In 1869, while printers were on strike she approved the training and employment of women workers to replace the striking workers and was accused of being a strike breaker.
She also took money from George Francis Train to fund the initial publishing of her newspaper “The Revolution”. Train was a controversial business man who supported women’s suffrage but had radical and racial views. Even some of her writing were quite racist by today’s standards but these were mainly from the period in which she was protesting the 15th amendment. Hence she was not beyond reproach.
The most important lesson that we learn from her life story is her perseverance. She spent all her life struggling for a cause that she did not live to see accomplished. The 19th amendment, also known as the Susan B Anthony amendment giving women the right to vote was passed in 1920, a decade and a half after Susan Anthony’s death. However this never caused her to give up hope and stop struggling. She continued her activist work till the end days of her life. And her leadership inspired her followers to continue her struggle till they were finally successful.
Susan B Anthony never married and this gave her an advantage to continue her work without being dependent on a man
Elizabeth Stanton was a lifelong friend and partner in her struggle for the suffrage movement. They made a unique team with Mrs Staton providing the thought and influence behind the movement and Anthony provided the administrative resources, travelled and spoke publically. Stanton was married and was a mother of seven children and Antony often helped Elisabeth in every way to continue her work. According to one of her biographers, she was like a second mother to Elisabeth’s children and often lived with the Stantons.
Anthony co- authored with Stanton the History of women’s suffrage. What was initially intended to be a short documentation of the suffrage movement as Anthony hated writing , ended up to be a six volume documentation of The history of women’s suffrage written over a period of 41 years and serves as the major documentation of the history of women’s suffrage movement.
