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. No musty historical document, 'The Trial of Susan B Anthony' is alive with the drama of an exciting time, when the hard-fought gains that women enjoy today still hung in the balance.Sherr, Lynn is the author of 'Trial of Susan B Anthony', published 2003 under ISBN 9781591020998 and ISBN 1591020999.
