Which leader is associated with suffrage, anti-slavery, and temperance?

• A. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
• B. Sojourner Truth
• C. Susan B. Anthony
• D. Lucy Stone

Answer: (C)

This asks you to recognize a reform leader who connected women’s rights with other major social reform movements of her time. Susan B. Anthony stood out because she spent decades fighting slavery, then shifted to securing women’s suffrage after the Civil War, and she also aligned with temperance as part of the broader moral reform tradition. Her abolitionist work helped shape the collaborative spirit of reform movements, and she believed women should have a say in laws affecting morality and social welfare. That combination—anti-slavery activity, leading the push for women’s voting rights, and involvement in temperance reform—makes her the best match for all three areas. Other figures were key in some of these movements, but Anthony is the one most consistently linked to all three.
