Context Description: In the year 1872, Susan B. Anthony illegally cast a vote, and was arrested and fined $100. She brought national attention to the women's suffrage movement. Anthony, one of the most powerful leaders for the women's suffrage movement, fought for abolition of slavery and women's rights, including for married women to retain ownership of property. Together with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anthony traveled across the U.S. making speeches in support of women's suffrage. They co-founded the American Equal Rights Association and its newspaper, The Revolution.Source: https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/susan-b-anthony
