In an era when women worldwide had few rights and could not vote, Susan B. Anthony risked her freedom and reputation by advocating for womenÕs suffrage in the United States. This engaging title analyzes her 1873 speech On WomenÕs Right to Vote, and its simple, but powerful, assertion that women are "persons." Additional material encourages readers to compare this speech to works by Sojourner Truth, as well as more modern womenÕs rights advocates.
