Susan B. Anthony when arrested for voting she stated that America was built only for white males. She concluded that the pronouns of he and him in the constitution and others never included women which is why women didn’t have the right to vote. She believed if this was true, women didn’t need to pay taxes either. Women stopped paying taxes to America as a protest for not being seen as equal in America´s eyes. You can read all about this and more things women and supporters of equal rights did to be seen as equal in the book, Women’s Suffrage, by Duchess Harris. The book goes over the fight for women’s rights in voting, education, careers, and more. This book is a good book and includes links to useful website to give more information. It also addresses African American women´s harder fight for rights in America. The book also goes over the fact not every women wanted suffrage or believed women needed suffrage. It also includes a page for Fast Facts, Important Dates, Stop and Think, Online Resources, Index, and a Glossary. This book is a good book to read if you want to learn about women’s suffrage. It’s also a good book to read if you want to think about women’s suffrage and ask questions about it.
