This speech, recited before court in 1873 is one of the greatest statements ever made on behalf of women's suffrage. Anthony had previously been arrested in 1872 for casting an illegal vote in the presidential election of that year. After pleading her case in court, she was nevertheless found guilty and fined; a fee that went unpaid for the remainder of her life.
