Susan B. Anthony had a speech titled "On Women's right to Vote" that discussed the unfairness of women's inability to vote. Susan brought up that "in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny." The speech goes on to discuss the validity of voting being determined by sex. The speech then calls all women to go vote and to stand up for themselves. I believe I am in love with Susan B. Anthony.
I enjoyed reading the speech. I enjoyed reading Susan's (and yes we are already on a first name basis) rhetorical, retarded, and sarcastic questions such as "Are women people?". Susan B. Anthony not only was a fiery speaker but also a believer in the "Black and White" world. What I mean by that is that she believes that there needs to be one standard for equal rights, such as no rights or everyone has rights. There is no in between, aka "Gray", like only one person can vote and sometimes another person if they like that person. I vote the speech as one of the most moving articles that I have placed my eyes upon. The speech made me want to stand up and express myself by the way of a vote..... I only wish she talked about lowering the voting age to 17 so I could vote.
