Anthony was associated with the balance development at that point. Since Anthony was not allowed to talk at a general balance meeting, she and Stanton framed the Womens New York State Temperance Society in 1852. Working With Elizabeth Cady Stanton Stanton and Anthony framed a 50-year long lasting working organization. Stanton, wedded and a mother to various kids, filled in as the author and scholar of the two. Anthony, never wedded, was all the more frequently the coordinator and the person who voyaged, talked generally, and endured the worst part of adversarial popular assessment. Anthony was acceptable at technique. Her control, vitality, and capacity to compose made her a solid and fruitful leader. During a few times of her activism, Anthony gave upwards of 75 to 100 talks per year. Post War After the Civil War, Anthony was significantly debilitated that those working for testimonial for dark Americans were eager to keep on barring ladies from casting a ballot rights. She and Stanton in this way turned out to be increasingly centered around lady testimonial. She served to establish the American Equal Rights Association in 1866.

Anthonys picture was picked for the new dollar coin, making her the primary lady to be delineated on U.S. cash. The size of the dollar was, in any case, near that of the quarter, and the Anthony dollar never turned out to be well known. In 1999 the U.S. government declared the substitution of the Susan B.
