Answer:

Susan B. Anthony meant that woman needed their own money.

Step-by-step explanation:

If women were given an allowance (another person's purse) they would never be free and would always have to answer to the person who controlled their money, but if they had their own money (a purse of her own) she was free to do what she wanted.
