Women’s suffrage activist Susan B. Anthony once said that “There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”

With the country on the eve of possibly electing a woman to the highest office in the nation, many women are traveling to the grave of Anthony, who died in 1906, to pay tribute to the nation’s best-known suffragists.

Anthony is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY, the same place she was arrested and later convicted of attempting to vote. The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, would not be passed until 1920.

“I voted” stickers began to show up on the headstone of Anthony’s grave sometime in October, according to CNN. The stickers get removed periodically, so the number of stickers varies from photo to photo. But those seeking to pay their respects to Anthony keep showing up.
