After casting her ballot in the 1872 Presidential election in her hometown of Rochester, New York, Susan B. Anthony was arrested, indicted, tried, and convicted for voting illegally. She vowed to continue to urge women to vote, reminding the judge, “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.” Years later, a trial assistant wrote, “There never before was a trial in the country of one-half the importance as this. If Miss Anthony had won on the merits, it would have revolutionized the suffrage of the country and enfranchised every woman in the United States.” Instead, women would have to wait another forty-seven years.
