Detailed explanation-1: -Res. 12, providing for woman suffrage: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” The Senate refers the so-called Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the Committee on Privileges and Elections.
Detailed explanation-2: -19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Women’s Right to Vote (1920)
Detailed explanation-3: -Though Anthony did not live to see women gain the right to vote, her work with Elizabeth Cady Stanton in drafting and introducing the 19th Amendment, which prohibited the denial of a US citizen to vote based on sex, laid the foundation for its ratification fourteen years after her death.
Detailed explanation-4: -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. Anthony died in 1906, 14 years before women were given the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
