Susan B. Anthony did not want to be pardoned. She was very pointed about this. Not until all women had full equality (which we still don’t have).

She said instead she would “urge all women to... the old revolutionary maxim that ‘Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.’”
Trump even pointed out that she never put her name forward for pardon even when she did for other women BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T WANT TO BE.

Unsurprisingly, Trump is putting on a show to pretend he cares about women but doesn’t give a shit about what women really want.
