Synopsis

THE STORY: The scene is a courtroom in upstate New York, where Susan B. Anthony is on trial for the crime of casting a ballot.

Tempers flare, animosities run high, and insults are traded as the fiery defendant of woman's rights challenges the ruling of the court—determined to resist bigotry and injustice.

While her trial is basically a sham, she storms and pleads and lectures, and skillfully turns defeat into victory—sounding a call for human dignity which inevitably awakened the conscience of the nation.
