"Is It a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote?"



     Susan B. Anthony was a marvelous suffragist, abolitionist, and  feminist. Anthony was arrested for voting illegally in 1872, when women did not have the right to vote. After voting she was fined $100 for breaking the law and when she refused to pay she was sent to trial at a circuit court. Anthony was one of the main figures who fought for the Women's suffragist cause. The title of this post is the title of the speech that she prepared when she toured around Monroe and Ontatrio counties.
