There are many women who contributed to the cause of suffrage (called suffragettes) during the Progressive Era. Several include Elizabeth Stanton, Alice Paul, Carrie Catt, and, the most famous of all, Susan B. Anthony.

Notable facts about Anthony include:

She was arrested for voting in New York, practiced civil disobediance (puposely defying an unjust law), and was president of NAWSA (National Association of Women's Suffrage, started by Stanton).
