  15. Rock The Vote In Memory of Susan B. ! Because You gotta fight for your right to vote!

  16. Rock The Vote Explanation Susan B. Anthony was a leader in the women’s suffrage movement. The right to vote was important for women because it allowed them to have a voice in American Society, and helped change oppressive laws against women. Even though Susan B. Anthony was not able to see the passage of the 19th Amendment in her lifetime, her work was instrumental in helping women gain the right to vote. My bumper sticker reflects how some women may have felt about their right to vote in 1920.
