In an era when women worldwide had few rights and could not vote, Susan B. Anthony risked her freedom and reputation by advocating for womenOs suffrage in the United States. This engaging title analyzes her 1873 speech On WomenOs Right to Vote, and its simple, but powerful, assertion that women are persons.
