Assigned Blog #4

I can't find much on my family history so i decided to do my blog on Susan B. Anthony.

Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. She was raised in a Quaker family thast had many traditions. She was the second oldest of seven children. Her family believed drinking liquor was a sin. She taught for 15 years. Susan joined the women's rights movement in 1852. Soon after she dedicated her life to womans suffrage.

Anthony traveled and gave lectures across the nation for the vote. She also campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's right to their own property and earnings, and women's labor organizations. In 1900, she was able to get the University of Rochester to admit women.

her death on March 13, 1906.

Susan and her friend, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, organized the first Nation Women Suffrage Association in 1869. Susan became president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in1892. She was president for 8 years.

Susan B. Anthony had her own paper, The Revolution,and it was first published in 1868.

 

On March 13, 1906, Susan B. Anthony died in her home in Rochester, New York of heart failure and pneumonia.

 

 

 

I think Susan was a great American girl! She was such a hard worker and always put her all into everything she did. And, she finished what she started. She did what she thought was right and stuck with it.
