This is a fine review of Susan B. Anthony's long efforts for voting rights.

I'm reminded of the observation (Was it G.B. Shaw?): "Reasonable people try to adapt themselves to the world; unreasonable people try to adapt the world to themselves. Therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people." Susan B. Anthony was undoubtedly among the latter.
