"La única oportunidad que tienen las mujeres para obtener justicia en este país es violar la ley, como yo he hecho, y llevar su juicio a los tribunales."
— Susan B. Anthony

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when laws are unfair, the only way to get fair treatment is to break those laws and face the legal consequences. Imagine a time when women were not allowed to vote or have the same rights as men. Some brave women decided to vote anyway, even though it was against the law. By doing this, they forced people to notice the injustice and brought attention to the need for change. Their actions led to legal trials that highlighted how unfair the laws were. As a result, these women played a crucial role in changing the laws to be more just. So, if you face unfair rules, sometimes speaking up or taking bold actions, even if it means breaking those rules, can lead to necessary changes and justice.
