The presidential election has been an undeniably tense and polarized time for the U.S. But, for some voters, the ability to cast a ballot for the country鈥檚 first female presidential candidate was a breakthrough moment moving enough to bring them to tears.

Women from across the U.S. shared emotional stories of how they felt casting historic votes for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

Other voters shared similar emotional tales on Twitter.

A cemetery in Rochester, N.Y. became a de facto meeting point for Clinton supporters as they visited the grave of suffragette Susan B. Anthony. Anthony was arrested and convicted of voting in 1872 鈥� 48 years before women were granted the right to vote.

The grave has become a symbolic place for Clinton supporters, who plastered her headstone with stickers that read 鈥淚 have voted.鈥�
