Susan_B._Anthony

Susan B. Anthony “How did Susan B. Anthony Break the Law in 1872'” For many years, women’s organizations have tried to get women the right to vote. These women protested and petitioned and did whatever else they could to make this legal. However, congress still referred this decision. Susan B. Anthony, who was one of the most prominent women in the 19th century politically and socially, was the first to act upon the right to vote. Susan B. Anthony, along with her close friend Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked tirelessly on the advancement of women in the United States. These two women also worked on the termination of slavery, along with women’s rights. Slavery was eventually abolished and they knew their next task to complete was to legalization of women voters. As a citizen of the United States, and also being a taxpayer, Anthony felt it was her right to vote because she supported her country, just as well as the men did. These ideas of Susan and all other women being able to vote arrived from the words of the fifteenth amendment, which stated, “all citizens can vote”, this is why all women also classified themselves as citizens and this meant them too.
