Why this is the answer

Susan B. Anthony fought for women's rights and for civil rights. This is a 65/20 civics question. Anthony was a leading nineteenth-century activist in the movement for women's suffrage — the right of women to vote — and also worked against slavery. Her efforts helped pave the way for the Nineteenth Amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote. The civics test asks applicants to identify her contribution to women's rights. Knowing key historical figures and what they did, including Susan B. Anthony, is part of the American-history section on both versions of the exam.
