Susan B. Anthony was born #OTD in 1820.

She dedicated her life to women's #suffrage, and campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights, and more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...

Active until she died in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).
