Famous suffragist Susan B. Anthony will receive a pardon nearly 150 years after she was arrested for voting in the 1872 presidential election, but her legacy was complicated.
President Trump announced Tuesday that he will be signing a posthumous pardon for the famous suffragist Susan B. Anthony, nearly 150 years after she was arrested for voting in the 1872 presidential election.
The pardon comes on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women in the U.S. the right to vote. It also comes at a time when the president’s popularity with female voters is trailing behind that of Democratic rival Joe Biden, who recently chose Sen. Kamala Harris — a Black woman of Indian heritage — as his running mate.
