Susan B. Anthony, (1820-1906) American feminist leader and suffragist.
Susan's first involvement in the world of reform was in the temperance
movement. This was one of the first expressions of original feminism in
the United States and it dealt with the abuses of women and children who
suffered from alcoholic husbands. In 1849, Susan gave her first public
speech for the Daughters of Temperance and then helped found the Woman's
State Temperance Society of New York, one of the first organizations of
its time.

to secure women's suffrage in the United States. She traveled thousands
of miles throughout the United States and Europe, and gave 75 to 100 speeches
per year on women's rights for some 45 years. Susan B. Anthony died in

Susan B. Anthony Dollar
From
Wikipedia
The Susan B. Anthony dollar is a United States coin minted between 1979
and 1981, and again in 1999. It depicts women's suffrage campaigner Susan
B. Anthony. The reverse depicts an eagle flying above the moon, a design
adapted from the Apollo 11 mission insignia that was also present on the
previously issued Eisenhower dollar.
Though it is round, it may appear 11-sided, due to an 11-sided rim bordering
the edge of both sides. The original design called for the coin itself
to be an 11-sided hendecagon, but vending machine manufacturers protested
this plan, claiming that available vending machine technology could only
accommodate round coins without extensive (and expensive) retooling.
Because of their similar size and color, it was found to be very easy
to mistake the coin for a quarter. The originally-planned hendecagon-shaped
edge, which would have distinguished it from the quarter, had been replaced
with a depiction of an hendecagon and the same reeded edge as the quarter,
thus compounding the confusion. It was unpopular and was disparagingly
referred to as the "Carter quarter" or the "Anthony quarter."
888,842,452 Anthony dollars were produced for circulation (Additional
dollars were produced as numismatic items).
The Anthony dollar is notable for numismatists because (as of 2006) it
was the last coin produced for circulation by the San Francisco Mint.

“I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.”
