Susan B. Anthony refused to pay the fine imposed on her for voting illegally in the 1872 presidential election as a form of protest against the laws that denied women the right to vote. She believed that paying the fine would imply acceptance of the injustice of those laws. Her act of civil disobedience was meant to highlight the struggle for women's suffrage and to challenge the legal system that upheld gender discrimination. Anthony's refusal to pay the fine became a significant moment in the women's rights movement.
