Her entire life was instructive, but this fine picture focuses on Susan B. Anthony's courageous decision to vote for President in 1872 (decades before women had the right to vote) and the judge's infamous verdict of "guilty." A leader in the women's suffrage movement, Anthony defied public ridicule (insults and eggs thrown at her), arrest, and trial, as she led the fight for women's rights. Beautifully illustrated.
