Susan was famous, she had her own mobs. People knew that she was going to make a difference so
they had mobs. Even cops and whites and more be in the mobs to stop her from creating equality. People
thought women were best suited for the home they hadn't done anything else in hundreds of years. They
didn't oppose her only because they thought she was right. They also thought they were right and that her
beliefs would ruin families (taking mothers away from their children, cause arguments in the home).

She died in 1906 and 14 years later the 19th Amendment granting women the vote was signed into law
and became known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. In 1979, the U.S. Mint issued the Susan B.
Anthony dollar -- first coin to honor a real (as opposed to an allegorical) woman. Production ended a few
years later because the coin was frequently mistaken for the quarter. In 1920 the Congress finally passed
the bill to let women vote. To let them have equal rights. Susan B. Anthony didnt live to see the result. But
people still honor her legacy by putting their I Voted stickers on her grave stone. Now, women across
the world could be in the vote just as boys can.
