Anthony was one of the leaders of the suffrage movement, which earned women the right to vote in 1920. She died in 1906, 14 years before women cast their first ballots.
Anthony's grave in Mt. Hope Cemetery will be open until voting ends Tuesday. Rochester's mayor announced the cemetery would stay open past its usual 5:30 p.m. closing time in honor of the historic day.
“Visiting Susan B. Anthony’s gravesite has become an Election Day rite of passage for many citizens,” Mayor Lovely Warren said in a news release to Rochester's Democrat and Chronicle. "With this year’s historically significant election, it seems right to extend that opportunity until the polls close.”
Visitors to Anthony's grave will receive stickers that say "I Voted Today Because of Women Like Her," and they can post their regular "I Voted" stickers on poster boards next to the gravesite.
