The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In the conclusion of "Speech After Being Convicted of Voting," Susan B. Anthony made a connection between women's suffrage and the struggle of black people to appeal to a population that voted for the abolition of slavery.

Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) delivered her speech in 1872 after being arrested for voting. Women were not allowed to vote and it was considered a crime. She was fined $100. This action created indignation across the country and gave an impulse to the women's suffrage movement.
