In the 1800s, women in the United States had few legal rights and did not have the right to vote. Susan B. Anthony,  was one of the Suffragettes that fought for women to have the right to vote. She was even arrested for casting an illegal vote in the presidential election of 1872. She was tried and then fined $100 but refused to pay. At Ward Elementary we celebrate the freedom we have to vote.
