From the time she was a girl, Susan B. Anthony wanted to learn. She thought it was unfair that her school would not teach her what it would teach the boys.
When Susan grew up, she worked for women's rights. Women were not allowed
to vote. But Susan voted in the 1872 presidential election. She was arrested
and fined. At her trial she made a powerful speech and refused to pay the fine.
To this day she is admired for her work in the women's suffrage
movement.
