Why isn't her birthday on our calendars?

“Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.” - Susan B. Anthony


Susan B. Anthony's birthday was yesterday, February 15th. This year is the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birthday and there is much (deserved) fanfare about that event. Has anyone heard anything about her birthday though? Granted, she was born in 1820 so we are a few years short of her bicentennial. But still, would we be where we are today without her and her fellow Suffragettes? That's definitely worth remembering. Thank you and happy birthday, Ms. Anthony.
