Abstract: "On January 24, 1873, Susan B. Anthony was indicted by a grand jury for voting "knowingly, wrongfully, and unlawfully." The subsequent trial, in which Anthony was convicted of breaking the law by casting a vote, became one of the most famous trials of the nineteenth century. This was largely due to Anthony's clever strategem of publishing a one-volume edition of the trial proceedings, then shrewdly using it as a public relations ploy for a campaign to rally women to the cause of women's suffrage.".
