In 1849, Susan Brownell Anthony gave her first public speech for the Daughters of Temperance. She went up in front of the crowd and she said that women's should get their rights to vote. In 1782, Susan ordered that women have been given the same civil and political rights that had been extended to black males. She led a group of women to Rochester and protested that women should get their rights to vote. But the most famous event that she had was that Susan voted when she didn't have the rights to vote. So she got arrested with her group of women and she had to pay $1000 bail and the other women that followed her had to pay $500 bail.
