anthony

was born in 1820 in adams massachusetts she was from a quaker family close-knit who believed in Education in the Quaker meetinghouse, men and women spoke equally, so Susan B.

Anthony thought that was the case everywhere. The reality was that most women were uneducated, could not own property, had few legal rights, and were subordinate to men, and Susan B. Anthony wanted equal rights. under the single-sex law, Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stem, the architect of the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, and the duo teamed up and were responsible for all the rights we have as women today . Stan had this very intellectual vision that he had the path. with words and Anthony had from the beginning the vision of what it meant to build a movement.

It was in 1872 that Anthony caused a national sensation when she voted illegally in a presidential election. On November 1, 1872, Anthony left her house at 17 Madison Street with her three. sisters and to the local barbershop where, as usual, men eligible to vote were registering, she demanded to register herself, insisted that since she was an American citizen she had the right to vote under the 14th amendment and that her goal was simply to force a case before the Supreme Court that would decide once and for all whether the 14th amendment should be extended to women early on the morning of November 5 Susan B Anthony and her followers went to the polls and voted the incident quickly became a national sensation

susan

b anthony was brought to trial on June 17, 1873 in the town court of Canandaigua, New York her trial was a travesty of justice such that it is really incredible if you take into account that it was Susan B Anthony, who was well known throughout the country, there was already a former president of the United States in the courtroom, Millard Fillmore, and they were congressmen, but of anyway, although this was a situation of these very important people in the courtroom in the eyes of the country in the courtroom still susan b anthony was not allowed to speak in her own defense judge hunt pronounced his verdict the sentence of the court is that you pay a fine of $100 in processing costs or serve 10 days in jail ma'am the court will not order you to remain committed until the fine is paid the statement was as illogical as it was contradictory Hunt was threatening Anthony with jail only If she obeyed his decision however there was a well thought out plan behind his actions if he had ordered Anthony to be jailed until the fine was paid, she could have immediately appealed his decision to the Supreme Court now that that option was much more difficult, Although Anthony was free, she had effectively lost any reasonable opportunity to present a landmark case before the highest court in the land.

When the trial was rigged, her vote didn't count, but she gained great publicity value. Anthony received a $100 fine that she never paid. However, she continued to spread women's rights in the US and Europe. She appeared in front of everyone. Congress from 1869 to 1906, the year she died, women were finally given the right to vote in 1920, 16 years after Susan B Anthony died, I believe every February 15th women in this country should recognize that as Susan B Anthony on the first day and only for a second. say thank you
