蘇珊‧安東尼 (Susan
B. Anthony) 支持婦女投票權修正案：1884年3月8日
情形是這樣的：在你的曾祖母很年輕的時候，她並沒有投票的權利，不過你的曾祖父卻有投票權。你的母親與祖母現在之所以能夠參加投票，都是因為過去有許多男女努力爭取來的成果。蘇珊‧安東尼就曾帶領人們爭取這項權益。在1884年月8日，安東尼在國會發言面前爭取婦女投票權。她要求參議員支持修改美國憲法，她說：「應該禁止因為性別因素，而剝奪美國公民的投票權…。」
但是有某些報紙卻稱安東尼為一個狂熱份子，並且還嘲弄她的論點。
Chances are that when your great-grandmother was young, she couldn't vote even though your great grandfather could. It was because of the hard work of a lot of women and men that your mom and grandmother can vote today. Susan B. Anthony helped lead that hard work. On March 8, 1884, Anthony testified before Congress supporting women's suffrage (right to vote). She urged senators to support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that, she said, "shall prohibit the disenfranchisement of citizens of the United States on account of sex..."
In some newspapers, Anthony was called a fanatic and ridiculed for her views.
