Since we just had an election, in which I certainly hope everyone voted, I greatly enjoyed this timely piece from Lowering the Bar about Susan B. Anthony's arrest for voting in 1872. That shows real dedication to the idea of participating in the political process.
As the piece notes, 'the "B" stood for "Badass."'*
There's a nice summary of her grave offense, arrest, trial and sentencing.
*Not really: it stood for 'Brownell,' which is less awe-inspiring but perhaps more dignified.
