凯丽．伯恩罕 (Carrie
Burnham) 争取投票权：1873年4月4日
宾州最高法院不同意凯丽．伯恩罕的看法，再次拒绝赋予她投票的权利。但是伯恩罕并不是唯一一位争取女性权利的妇女。妇女投票权运动开始于19世纪中叶，并且由伊利莎白．凯蒂．史单顿 (Elizabeth
Cady Stanton) 、苏珊．安东尼 (Susan
B. Anthony) 等人所带领。这个运动一直持续到1920年，美国妇女在第一次世界大战之后取得投票权利才退出。你知道其他为了这项运动奋斗的妇女是谁吗？对凯丽．伯恩罕来说，虽然她在妇女取得投票权之前就去世了，但是在她活着的时候，她却已经成为律师，获准进入宾州最高法院，以及美国最高法院。
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.
