Which reformer was a key figure in the women's suffrage movement and helped form the National Woman Suffrage Association?

• A. Susan B. Anthony
• B. Ida B. Wells
• C. W. E. B. Du Bois
• D. Sanford B. Dole

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing a reformer who led national efforts to win women’s voting rights. Susan B. Anthony was a central figure in the women's suffrage movement and, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, helped form the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 to push for a constitutional amendment granting women the vote. Her persistent organizing, lobbying, and advocacy connected suffrage activists across the country and kept the national issue at the forefront. By contrast, Ida B. Wells is best known for anti-lynching and civil rights work, W. E. B. Du Bois for broader African American rights leadership, and Sanford B. Dole for Hawaiian political actions; none led the National Woman Suffrage Association.
