By Ann Malaspina, Steve James (Illustrator)
A woman registers to vote and faces the consequences.
In 1872, Susan B. Anthony dared to vote, challenging the law and sparking a movement. Arrested and tried, her defiance became a catalyst for change. Discover the story of her bold stand and the long battle for women's suffrage. What drove her to risk everything for justice?
On November 5, 1872, Susan B. Anthony made history–and broke the law–when she voted in the US presidential election, a privilege that had been reserved for men. She was arrested, tried, and found guilty: “The greatest outrage History every witnessed,” she wrote in her journal. It wasn’t until 1920 that women were granted the right to vote, but the civil rights victory would not have been possible without Susan B. Anthony’s leadership and passion to stand up for what was right.
