Since the nineteenth century, activists petitioned and fought for a woman's right to vote. The earliest examples of activism include individuals like Susan B. Anthony.

Susan B. Anthony voted in the presidential election of 1872. Subsequently, she was fined $1,000 because it was illegal for women to vote. She later spoke about her injustices in her 1873 speech, Is it a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote? 

Teach about Susan B. Anthony and others who championed the cause of women’s rights with our collection of primary sources, essays, videos, and activities. Our Women's History Month playlist includes resources spanning that span from the time of the American Revolution to the Modern Era.
