One woman from the Progressive Era who played a vital role in the suffrage movement was Susan B. Anthony. Anthony was a prominent suffragist who dedicated her life to fighting for women's right to vote. She traveled across the United States giving speeches, organizing rallies, and lobbying for suffrage legislation. Anthony also co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association and was the driving force behind the suffrage amendment that became the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Her tireless efforts and leadership were instrumental in advancing the suffrage movement and securing voting rights for women.
