noteworthy

Did You Know?  In 1872, Susan B. Anthony petitioned the Judiciary Committee to reduce a fine imposed by the State of New York after her arrest for voting in a State election.  In 1880, she testified before the Committee advocating for women's voting rights.  It would be another 40 years until the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote was ratified, in 1920.
