    The statement is true. One of the key leaders in the women's rights movement was Susan B. Anthony. She devoted her entire life to racial, gender and educational equalities. Susan B. accomplished many things like becoming the president of the National Woman Suffrage, and changed the 19th Amendment to allow women to vote.

    Explanation:

    Susan B. Anthony was an American suffragette and civil rights activist. She was a champion in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States.

    She was born in the state of Massachusetts into a Quaker family. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to the state of New York. She received her education in her father's school and has been a teacher herself for a long time. In the years prior to the Civil War, she had a prominent role in the fight against slavery.

    From 1854 she started to work full time for the struggle for women's rights. She gained a reputation as a passionate speaker and a passionate writer. In 1869, she became president of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, an organization that sought women's voting rights.

    In November 1872, she voted with about fourteen other women in the then presidential election, whereby the regulators thought it was good that she put her vote in the polls. She was arrested and sentenced in a trial in 1873 to a hundred dollar fine and costs. She never paid a cent of the fine and the government has never done much to collect it. But she voluntarily went into jail.

    Susan B. Anthony died on March 13, 1906 in her home in Rochester from the effects of a heart disease. On August 18, 1920, fourteen and a half years after her death, women's suffrage was introduced in the United States with the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
