...the most sensible people
Susan B. Anthony once said women in America would never be truly free until women could vote. Her point was pretty simple. When people vote, they have the power to elect representatives who make the laws. People who make laws listen to their constituents. If a lawmaker has no female constituents, why would he care what women think? The story of Elizabeth Packard illustrates Susan Anthony's point.
