Susan B. Anthony House: "Why can't women vote? The law should be changed."

My first visiting to Susan B. Anthony was in 2009 with my friend. Before visiting there, I didn’t know about her and the fact that woman didn’t have a right to vote.  After visiting there, I have thanked to her efforts, that is, women in all of America and most other countries can vote.           

Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony fought for women's rights. More than any other person she was responsible for women winning the right to vote in America. She was born in Adams, Massachusetts in 1820 and died in Rochester, New York in 1906. At her time, only men could vote. She thought, "Why can't women vote? The law should be changed." She talked about this to people all around the country. In 1872, she voted, but her vote wasn’t counted and she was sent to jail because she broke the election law. When she died in 1906, women were allowed to vote in only four states. However, in 1920, 14 years after her death, women in the United States finally won the right to vote. In Rochester, we have a house that was the home of Susan B. Anthony. She had lived the house while she was a national figure in the women’s rights movement. Her house is located at 17 Madison Street in Rochester with the Susan B. Anthony Museum. Recently, in order to keep Susan B. Anthony's vision alive and relevant, the Susan B. Anthony House is a learning center and museum open to the public for tours and some programs. To get more information, you can visit this Web site: http://susanbanthonyhouse.org/index.php
