Anthony spent nearly sixty years fighting for justice 安东尼花了近六十年时间为正义而奋斗

and equality — 和公平——

above all, 最重要的是，

for a woman's right to vote. 为了女性的投票权。

Born in 1820 into a Quaker family 她于1820年出生在一个贵格会家庭

that believed girls and boys were equal, 这个家庭相信女孩和男孩是平等的，

she was encouraged to learn, to work, 她被鼓励学习、工作，

and to speak her mind. 并畅所欲言。

She began teaching at fifteen, 她十五岁开始教书，

and was paid a quarter of what the male teachers earned — 而她的薪水只有男教师的四分之一——

an early, stinging lesson in inequality. 这是她早期在不平等待遇上受到的一个深刻而痛苦的教训。

At a meeting one day, 有一天在一次会议上，

she was told she could not speak, 她被告知不能发言，

simply because she was a woman. 仅仅因为她是一名女性。

That moment set the course of her life. 那一刻决定了她一生的方向。

With her friend Elizabeth Cady Stanton, 她和朋友伊丽莎白·卡迪·斯坦顿一起，

she organized, campaigned, 组织、宣传，

and demanded that women be allowed to vote. 并要求女性获得投票权。

In 1872, she voted illegally to make her point — and was arrested and fined. 1872年，她为了表明自己的立场而非法投票——结果被捕并被罚款。

She refused to pay. 她拒绝支付。

Anthony died in 1906, fourteen years before women finally won the vote. 安东尼于1906年去世，那是在女性最终赢得投票权的十四年前。

She never cast a legal ballot herself. 她自己从未投过一张合法的选票。

She spent her whole life building a door she would never walk through. 她一生都在建造一扇自己永远无法走过的门。

That is what it truly means to work for the ones who come after you. 这才是真正为后来者奋斗的意义。
