Susan B. Anthony was once a teacher in a school, and one day she found out that male teachers got paid more the female teachers. She took this to a the campaign that they were having, when she went to go up and have a speech they told her that she couldn't make a speech. Since, Anthony was a very strong women she had the women's rights movement started. Her and Stanton were creating a news paper and they called it "The Revolution" this ment to give the men their rights and nothing more, and give the women their rights and nothing less. In order for her to press a test case of her belief that women, as citizens, could not be denied the ballot, Anthony voted. She was tried, convicted and fined for voting illegally. She didn't really care becuase she wanted to show them on how she felt about women's rights. She travled around the country to let every women knoe about their rights. Until she started to die. She couldn't do anything anymore.
