BACKGROUND In the 1800’s women in the U.S. had few

legal rights and did not have the right to vote. The speech was given by Susan B. Anthony after her arrest for casting an illegal vote in the presidential election of 1872. She was tried and then fined $100 but refused to pay.

Following her death in 1906 after five decades of tireless work, the Democratic and Republican parties both endorsed women’s right to vote. In August of 7920, the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was finally ratified, allowing women to vote.
