For fifty years, Susan B. Anthony struggled to gain women the right to vote. When she died, most thought that the "Chamption of Lost Causes" had failed.
However, her efforts lit a spark that would trigger women marching all over America in Susan's name, trying to gain the right to vote. When the 19th Amendment was passed, they called it the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.
