凱麗‧伯恩罕 (Carrie
Burnham) 爭取投票權：1873年4月4日
賓州最高法院不同意凱麗‧伯恩罕的看法，再次拒絕賦予她投票的權利。但是伯恩罕並不是唯一一位爭取女性權利的婦女。婦女投票權運動開始於19世紀中葉，並且由伊利莎白‧凱蒂‧史單頓 (Elizabeth
Cady Stanton) 、蘇珊‧安東尼 (Susan
B. Anthony) 等人所帶領。這個運動一直持續到1920年，美國婦女在第一次世界大戰之後取得投票權利才結束。你知道其他為了這項運動奮鬥的婦女是誰嗎？對凱麗‧伯恩罕來說，雖然她在婦女取得投票權之前就去世了，但是在她活著的時候，她卻已經成為律師，獲准進入賓州最高法院，以及美國最高法院。
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania disagreed with Carrie Burnham, and she was denied the right to vote. But she was not the only woman fighting for her right. The woman suffrage movement started in the mid-19th century and progressed with leaders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The movement continued until 1920, when women of the U.S. finally won the right to vote after World War I. Do you know the names of other women who fought for this cause? As for Carrie Burnham, she died before gaining the right to vote, but not before becoming an attorney and winning admission to the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.
