FEBRUARY 15, 1820

Adams, Massachusetts, USA
126 years ago

On February 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was born in Adams, Massachusetts. History often celebrates the moment a right is finally granted, but Anthony’s significance lives in the decades before that moment: the organizing, the petitions, the speeches, the travel, and the refusal to accept “not yet.”

She helped transform women’s suffrage from an idea discussed in rooms into a national campaign that could pressure institutions.

Organizing the Unignorable

Anthony partnered closely with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and became a central builder of the movement’s infrastructure, helping found the National Woman Suffrage Association and later serving as its president (1892–1900).

And she didn’t just argue theory. She tested power in public. In 1872, Anthony voted in Rochester, New York, was arrested for voting “illegally,” and was convicted in 1873, turning her trial into a national spotlight on the contradiction between democratic language and democratic access.

—— WHY THIS MATTERS ——

• She proved that organizing is a form of genius.
  Not one dramatic moment; thousands of disciplined actions.

• She made the vote a moral issue, not a niche one.
  By linking suffrage to citizenship and legitimacy.

• She helped set the stage for the 19th Amendment (1920).
  She didn’t live to see it, but her groundwork shaped the outcome.

—— THE TAKEAWAY ——

February 15, 1820 marks the birth of a woman who treated equality like a job that had to be done: daily, publicly, relentlessly. Susan B. Anthony didn’t just want the future to be fairer. She built the machinery that made fairness possible.

At Masters of Trivia, with our MOT utility token, we turn turning points like this into daily interactive learning, so curiosity becomes a habit, and history becomes something you can use.

Today’s Daily Quiz explores Susan B. Anthony’s life, the suffrage movement’s turning points, the 1872 vote-and-arrest moment, and how movements are built before they’re “won.”
