1870 : Susan B. Anthony Demands Right to Vote In Detroit

Speaking at the Northwestern Woman’s Suffrage Association in Detroit on November 29, 1870, Susan B. Anthony shared her ideas on woman suffrage, her reasons for demanding it, the abuses women suffer for lacking it.

The Democrats of Wyoming first granted the privilege and she hoped that Democracy all across the country would follow suit.
