Jenny+C.+-+I+am+Susan+B.+Anthony

For my “I am…” project, I will be doing Susan B. Anthony. Before I did my research, I knew that Susan B. Anthony worked hard to give women the right to vote. She once had to go to jail and pay a fine because she tried to vote in an election, but she never paid the fine. I also knew that unfortunately, she never got to vote legally because the 19th amendment (the right for women to vote) was proposed after her death. As I was doing my research, the questions that came to my mind were: //What qualities did she like about her friend, Elizabeth Cady Stanton? How did Elizabeth Cady Stanton contribute to fighting for the right for women to vote? Besides going to jail and convincing the senator to allow women to vote, what other struggles did Susan face?// and //Why was the 19th amendment proposed 14.5 years after her death? Why not earlier?// But what I would really like to know is:


 * Why was Susan unable to secure the 19th amendment in her lifetime?**
