Pay Your Respects

Below you will find the final resting places of these Badass Buffalo Babes. Pay them a visit if you’re ever nearby!

Susan B. Anthony's headstone at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, almost entirely covered in "I Voted Today" stickers, with flowers, small American flags, a "We Can Do It!" Rosie the Riveter card and a hand-lettered sign reading "Thank you Susan B.! & Suffragettes!" at its base.
Susan B. Anthony’s tombstone covered in “I Voted” stickers after the 2016 presidential election. Two notes: 1. To protect the stone, the cemetery no longer allows stickers. In fact, a clear plastic covering is now in place. 2. Anthony lived in the Rochester area, so technically she doesn’t qualify as a Badass BUFFALO Babe. But she sure does qualify as a Badass Babe!

About BADASS BUFFALO BABES

Buffalo has no shortage of remarkable women. You’d never know it from the local history shelf.

After years of coming up empty at bookstores and libraries, I decided to write the stories myself. These posts celebrate the women who lived, worked, and made their mark in the Buffalo area — the highlights, the achievements, the moments worth remembering.

This isn’t a genealogy project or an academic archive. Just good stories about women who deserve to be known.
