On November 1st 1872, Susan B. Anthony — one of the suffrage movement’s leading lights — launched a bid for the right to vote so clever and audacious it still dazzles today. Rolex Daytona watches Replica.
Ever since the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted in 1868 — which, in the aftermath of the Civil War, prohibited state and local governments from “depriving persons of life, liberty, or property” — Susan had been waiting for an opportunity to exploit on behalf of the suffragettes what she believed to be a legal loophole. The chance to test her theory arrived when her local Rochester newspaper published an editorial that read:
“Now register! Today and tomorrow are the only remaining opportunities. If you were not permitted to vote, you would fight for the right, undergo all privations for it, face death for it. You have it now at the cost of five minutes’ time to be spent in seeking your place of registration and having your name entered. And yet, on election day, less than a week hence, hundreds of you are likely to lose your votes because you have not thought it worth while to give the five minutes.”
Just like the arrogantly patriarchal 14th Amendment, the impassioned editorial had made a glaring omission: there was no mention of gender.Replica Franck Muller.
Susan B. Anthony’s bold attempt to manipulate the U.S. Constitution perhaps came too soon. It would be another forty-eight protracted years before American woman won the right to vote, and Susan would not live to see that great day which her efforts in no small part made possible.
