Born in Adams, Massachusetts, of Quaker parents. She never married. Anthony campaigned for the rights of women. She was prevented from speaking at a temperance meeting because of her sex. In 1852 she participated in the formation of the Women's State Temperance Society of New York. From 1856 to 1861 she served as an agent for the American Anti-slavery Society. She was president of the National American Women Suffrage Association 1892 to 1900. She died at Rochester, New York.\n
Anthony lobbied Congress for involvement of women in the management of the World's Columbian Exposition. As the result of these efforts, The Board of Lady Managers was authorized. They received the profits from the sale of the Isabella Quarter Dollar.\n\tAnthony appears on the United States Dollar coin of 1979 to 1981 designed by Frank Gasparro. Large quantities were produced prior to release to reduce hoarding of early pieces. The new coin was released to the public July 2, 1979. The public never accepted the coin. Because of its size it was frequently confused with the quarter dollar.\n
Anthony is one of two people to appear on circulating coinage who had never served as President. The other, Benjamin Franklin, deserved the honor. Apparently most Americans felt that Anthony did not.\n
