Ida B. Wells and Susan B. Anthony were two women who worked hard to change post- Civil War America. Ida B. Wells was a champion for the rights of African Americans and Susan B. Anthony continued to fight for women’s rights.As you review the material, remember to evaluate it within the context of the times. Don’t place contemporary values on events that took place in the past. Both women were important activists although they had different perspectives on what was the important struggle for activists, many white women were frustrated that voting rights were extended to the former male slaves, but not to women. On the other hand African-American activists were often frustrated by the incomplete progress of Reconstruction and then by the enforcement of Jim Crow Laws. When we think about broad social change it is rarely the work of one person and that is important to keep in mind as is the fact that social change rarely happens quickly. Although neither Wells nor Anthony lived to see the change they sought, their missions succeeded because other people (men and women) picked up those respective torches.
