Edited to add: This online bio says explicitly that she never married.
BTW - this month marks the 160th anniversary of the First US Women's Convention, in Seneca Falls, NY (where I attended college).
Maybe she should have hung around Isabella

Seems to me "women's rights" are fickle.
Susan B. Anthony was a Quaker, so her view of abortion was colored by her religious views. She was also a privileged bourgeois white woman, which also colored her views.

The image of her is of an older and wiser woman, and not that image of her youth. There are plenty of ugly fellows on coins and paper, mind you.

There are LOTS MORE of us ugly suckers. Watch out!
It was the anti-slavery movement that brought Anthony together with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, with whom she would spearhead the crusade for the franchise of women. The two first met at a lecture in 1851. Anthony said that there was an "intense attraction" between them from the start. Whether they were lovers must remain a matter of speculation, but it is clear that theirs was a particularly close and enduring friendship.
------------
Boston marriages--romantic unions between women that were usually monogamous but not necessarily sexual--flourished in the late nineteenth century. The term was coined in New England, around the time that numerous women's colleges such as Vassar, Smith, and Wellesley emerged.
The concept of love between women was, of course, not new; "Boston marriage" and the very similar, earlier nineteenth-century term "romantic friendship" connote a type of relationship that dates back to at least the Renaissance in the West, and possibly further in the non-Western world.
-------------
As true friends often are, the two women are also keenly aware of their differences. They could be called opposites, though they ultimately combined their desires for women’s rights in order to make progress. As Stanton writes to Anthony on March 10, 1887, prior to the conference for the International Council of Women, she “…cautions Anthony to ‘not get up more machinery than you can manage. You err on the side of details & I on the opposite extreme. Let us try & strike the happy medium & leave something to peoples common sense.’” This was in response to Anthony’s letter written to Stanton who supported Frederick Douglass’ marriage to a white woman. In the letter, “Anthony implores Stanton not to publicly endorse Douglass’s marriage.” After Stanton stayed in Anthony’s home for a month in 1890, Anthony extended an invitation for her friend to remain permanently; however, according to the notes of the exhibition, “Stanton, who did not relish the idea of being daily harassed by Anthony to do suffrage work, declined the offer.”
============
-----------
“We met and loved, ne’er to part,
Hand clasped in hand, heart bound to heart.
We’ve traveled West, years together,
Day and night, in stormy weather;
Climbing the rugged Suffrage hill,
Bravely facing every ill:
Resting, speaking, everywhere;
Oft-times in the open air;
From sleighs, ox-carts, and coaches,
Besieged with bugs and roaches:
All for the emancipation
Of the women of our Nation.”

your guess is as good as mine...

My father's older sister never married. Does that make her gay?

Perhaps with her religeous views that's why the Quakers disappeared from this planet?
Big loser (and I'm all for womens choice).

Still plenty of Quakers around, I know lots of them. Richard Nixon was a Quaker.
Maybe you are thinking of Shakers. There's only a few of those left. Nice furniture!

They practiced abstinence.
I would buy a roll of Susies if they looked like your model.

Forget Washington and the rest of them guys. If that would fit on a dollar coin, they could stop printing paper dollars for sure.

By the way, she spent 50 years as a teaching nun in an order that ministered to poor, black and native american children. But she never married, except to God.
If you don't know the facts, don't jump to conclusions.

And I recall someone posted a photo here recently of a young Eunice Shriver, who didn't look half bad in the day.

My appologies to anyone that might have taken exception to my crude remark. It was not stated as fact, nor was it my intention to offend anyone. Only an ill fated attempt at some humor.

Isabella hung around several heirs to the throne who were senior to her and who did not survive. Whether this had anything to do with her presence or not is a mystery of history.

Right. But the Dollar has shrunk since, in diameter and value.
