Susan B. Anthony's trial is one of the key cases in the lead-up to women's suffrage in the U.S. It is also a good insight into the attitudes toward women by those in power. In fact, the judge penned his decision before hearing the case (his first criminal case) and discharged the jury because he maintained that there were no questions of fact for them to consider. He found Anthony guilty of voting illegally, fined her $100, and then made the mistake of asking her if she had anything to say.
