Create a national holiday for women's rights leader Susan B. Anthony who was born on February 15.

Created by C.W. on June 13, 2013

Susan B. Anthony joined the women's rights movement in 1852 and dedicated her life to anti-slavery and women's equality. She was co-founder, along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, of the National Womans Suffrage Association and worked tirelessly in the U.S. and Europe promoting a woman's right to vote and establishing their equality with men. Florida and Wisconsin already celebrate her birthday and call it Susan B. Anthony Day. It's time to do her justice as a true American hero, honor her as a nation, and give girls a national hero to look up to. It is because of her leadership, bravery and dedication, that women have the rights we have today!
