The wording of the amendment - 'The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude' - clearly excluded women the right to vote. Women had to wait another 50 years with the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920 and neither Elizabeth Cady Stanton nor Susan B. Anthony lived to see that day.
The Fifteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution states: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Anthony would have preferred that the Fifteenth Amendment explicitly grant women the right to vote, but since it didn't, she argued that because she, as a woman, had been in a condition of servitude also, the Amendment gave her and other women the right to vote also. She attempted to vote based on this argument but was arrested for violating the law.

Susan B Anthony was somewhat a woman's right leader. Because, the 15th amend. stated that former slaves could all vote now, and have the rights of white people. Susan believed that because she used to be a slave that would imply that she had the right to vote.
No. She was an abolitionist, which means she was against slavery, but the official decision to end slavery came from Abraham Lincoln. As president, Abraham Lincoln had the authority to mandate the end of slavery for all states.
