Born in South Adams, Massachusetts. Anti-slavery and temperance activist, and women's rights activist, who served as president of the influential National Women's Suffrage Association from 1892 to 1900; in 1920, largely as a result of her and her colleages' hard work, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, more popularly known as the 'Anthony Amendment', was passed, which guaranteed American women the right to vote. During her life she formed her closest emotional and affectional bond with another women's rights activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
