Susan is famous because she defend the women's right and introduced women's suffrage into the United States.When she was 29 years old, she began to take part in conventions and gatherings related to the temperance movement, and she began to distance herself from the Quakers. Anthony participated in every subsequent annual National Women's Rights Convention, and served as convention president in 1858.

Later, in 1893, she joined with Helen Barrett Montgomery in forming a chapter of the woman's Education and Industrial Union in Rochester. One of her most important projects was the National Woman Suffrage Association. Susan and Stanton founded this Association in 1869, and the Association dedicated to gaining women's suffrage. Anthony served as vice-president-at-large until 1892.

Anthony retired in 1900, after that Anthony remained in Rochester, where she died at the age of 86 of heart failure and pneumonia in her house on March 13, 1906. 

But at last she and her ideas succeed because, fourteen years after Anthony's death, following assiduous campaigning, women's right to vote was affirmed on August 26, 1920, by passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S.A. Constitution.
