Susan B. Anthony's Birthday

In Honor of Susan B. Anthony's Birthday- February 15th


Susan B. Anthony's last birthday celebration was held on February 15, 1906 in Washington, DC. At this event Susan gave her last public speech, which she ended by paying tribute to the countless numbers who had joined in the campaign for women's rights. She said, "There have been others also just as true and devoted to the cause-I wish I could name every one-but with such women consecrating lives--failure is impossible."

So today let us pay tribute to Susan B. Anthony and the countless others who unrelentingly and tirelessly worked for women to win the right to vote.
