Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony was fined for voting in an 1872 election in Rochester, New York. She and a group of women tried to vote. They were arrested and sentenced to pay a fine. She would not pay the fine, but the judge freed her. He was afraid she might appeal the verdict to a higher court and thus begin a series of court battles regarding women’s rights to vote and women’s suffrage. Children could learn more at: Susan B.
