What does this answer mean?

Several women led the women's rights movement in the 1800s, and you only need to name one. USCIS accepts six: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Lucretia Mott, and Lucy Stone.

A turning point came in July 1848, at the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were among its organizers, and Stanton read aloud the Declaration of Sentiments, modeled on the Declaration of Independence. Besides the vote, it called for rights in education, property, and family life. Many of the organizers were also active in the movement to end slavery.

The movement grew over the following decades. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony led the National Woman Suffrage Association, and leaders like Sojourner Truth and Lucy Stone spoke at women's rights conventions.

Women across the country finally won the right to vote with the 19th Amendment in 1920.

At the interview, the best-known answer is "Susan B. Anthony."
