A Beauty but a Funny Girl

Me: dont fuckin boss me around!!!!!

146 years ago today Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote. She died before she was able to cast her ballot legally.

146 years ago susan b anthony wouldn’t let ida b wells and other black sufagettes march with her unless she went at the back because she valued racist southern women’s opinions over genuinely amazing suffragettes who risked their lives when they could be arrested WITH NO CAUSE. back then a black woman could be arrested for sex work by talking to a man who was not related to her, black suffragettes who looked at a man the wrong way would be arrested.

Unlike Susan B Anthony, Ida B Wells did not die before female suffrage was passed. But she did die 35 years before she could vote as a black person. She had to watch for the last ten years of her life as white women got what she had fought so hard for while she was still denied it.

Me on religion: idk I’m really skeptical,,.. Like has anyone seen any proof????

good news!! a statue for her is currently in the works at her alma mater, West Virginia State University!!
