Susan Brownell Anthony, along with fellow reformer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, led the woman-suffrage movement in the United States during the 19th century. Both activists believed that women could not effectively promote social reform without the right to vote. Anthony devoted 50 years of her life to the suffrage movement; she died in 1906, 14 years before the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States granted women the right to vote. In 1979 she became the first woman to be pictured on circulating United States currency, the one-dollar coin.
