Devoting her entire life to the cause, Anthony gave almost 100 speeches a year on the subject. In 1869, along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she started the National Woman's Suffrage Association and was voted its Vice President.
In 1872, she was arrested for voting illegally. Read the spectacular speech she gave afterward here.
Between 1884 and 1887, she along with Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Ida Husted Harper, wrote The History of Woman Suffrage.
Anthony died in 1906 - 14 years before the passing of the 19 Amendment - at the age of 86.
