Detailed explanation-1: -In 1888, she helped to merge the two largest suffrage associations into one, the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. She led the group until 1900. She traveled around the country giving speeches, gathering thousands of signatures on petitions, and lobbying Congress every year for women.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anthony founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 alongside activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Around this time, the two created and produced The Revolution, a weekly publication that lobbied for women’s rights under the American Equal Rights Association (AERA).
Detailed explanation-3: -Because curbing alcohol abuse concerned the welfare of women and children, temperance work was considered an acceptable womanly endeavor. Susan B. Anthony saw temperance as the gateway to women’s rights.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1853, Anthony and Stanton founded the Women’s State Temperance Society, with the goal of petitioning the state legislature to pass a law limiting the sale of liquor. The state legislature rejected the petition because most of the 28, 000 signatures were from women and children.
