During the formative years of the great nation of the United States of America, several outstanding people emerged who made exceptional efforts towards the achievement of these civil liberties, including abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and the Honorable Frederick Douglass. Such individuals contributed their energy and wisdom toward the construction of what is now considered, at least according to law, a free and equal society, one that gives each of its citizens the right to prosper as both individuals as well as in union. Susan B. Anthony (vegetarian) was another outstanding social reformer and women’s rights activist devoted to pursuing civic justice for all. She worked as an abolitionist during the mid-19th century and held a lifelong dedication to the temperance movement, raising awareness of numerous and varied effects of alcohol abuse, particularly in domestic violence within a marriage. Ms. Anthony was also involved with the American Vegetarian Society and other movements which worked toward the betterment of society. Susan B. Anthony is perhaps most well known as a women’s rights pioneer and leader. She is considered one of the foremost individuals in the long campaign of achieving the female vote in the United States, which was finally achieved with the implementation of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920. Just weeks before her passing at the age of 86, in 1906, Susan B. Anthony reiterated her unwavering support towards achieving the unalienable right of a vote for all United States citizens, uttering these now famous words to a group of faithful women’s suffrage campaigners: “Failure is impossible!” In 1820, Susan Brownell Anthony was born into a large Quaker family from Adams, Massachusetts. Her upbringing inspired her, as well as many of her siblings, to become activists for social causes. Additionally, Quakers such as the Anthony family adhered to the 17th-century Peace Testimony of Non-Violence, abstaining from all forms of killing, including animal-people, for the preservation of humanity and the Earth.
