Women are decorating Susan B. Anthony's grave with 'I Voted' stickers

It’s been fewer than 100 years since women (though, effectively, just white women until 1964) got the right to vote in America. Susan B. Anthony is one of the most famous pioneers who fought for suffrage, and now, as chances are high that America will have its first woman president, people are honoring her work by decorating her grave with “I Voted” stickers.

Anthony, who is buried in Rochester, New York, died before she could see the 19th Amendment passed. One local station is even broadcasting the tribute to her grave.

People are also visiting the graves of other suffragettes and monuments to the Women’s Suffrage movement, as well as highlighting those women who fought for the vote.

Today, Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York, is also holding an event to pay tribute to the numerous suffragettes buried there, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Carrie Chapman Catt, as well as other notable women like Madam C.J. Walker and Celia Cruz.

Despite the modern history books, the old bitty was not well liked in Rochester. And it was 15 years after she died that women got the right to vote.

In the meantime, many women were voting in other states for years before she came about.

I wonder if women should even be allowed to vote, I bet 3/4’s don’t have a clue what is going on politcally which explains why they like Hillary, sad but true.

Very disrespectful.

So when hundreds of those cheap stickers get stuck on the stone gravestone, who will be in charge of scraping them all off? Cemetery staff I guess...

The two biggest mistakes America made:
#1 Allowing anyone other than net tax PAYERS to vote.
#2 Allowing Senatorial elections rather than legislature’s appointments.

I guarantee that if the 2016 Republican nominee had been a pro-life female, most of these women voting for “history” would have found a reason why they couldn’t support her.

Women have had the right to vote for 96 years. They just started doing this now? I guess being able to vote for a man all these years wasn’t good enough.

Women, never satisfied.
