苏珊．安东尼 (Susan
B. Anthony) 支持妇女投票权修正案：1884年3月8日
情形是这样的：在你的曾祖母很年轻的时候，她并没有投票的权利，不过你的曾祖父却有投票权。你的母亲与祖母现在之所以能够参加投票，都是因为过去有许多男女努力争取来的成果。苏珊．安东尼就曾带领人们争取这项权益。在1884年月8日，安东尼在国会发言面前争取妇女投票权。她要求参议员支持更改美国宪法，她说：「应该禁止因为性别因素，而剥夺美国公民的投票权…。」
但是有某些报纸却称安东尼为一个狂热份子，并且还嘲弄她的论点。
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.
