Susan B. Anthony was tried in 1873 for voting illegally in the presidential election. She was charged with casting a ballot as a woman, violating the law which did not recognize women's right to vote. During the trial, Anthony made a powerful statement advocating for women's suffrage, but the jury found her guilty, and she was fined $100, which she refused to pay. The trial highlighted the injustice of women's disenfranchisement and galvanized the suffrage movement.
