Susan B. Anthony spent fifty years fighting for women's suffrage and never lived to see it happen. She was arrested for voting illegally in 1872, refused to pay the fine, and used the trial as a platform to argue that the Constitution already guaranteed women the right to vote. She died fourteen years before the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified — the amendment that bears her name.
