Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. Susan B. Anthony was an active woman suffragist who played a big part in the women's rights movement, in 1852.

Anthony’s first paid position was headmistress of the girls department of Canajoharie Academy in 1846. During this time she was deeply troubled by the fact that women received much lower wages than their male counterparts for equal work. She returned to the family farm in Rochester New York when Canajoharie Academy closed in 1849. At this time she began to be fully involved in reform work. She was introduced to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 who had played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The two of them formed a lifelong friendship and ever after were constant partners in the battle for women’s rights and social justice. Their relationship was complimentary: Stanton did the writing and came up with ideas while Anthony excelled at organizing and delivering speeches. Her methods of raising public awareness and building grassroots support for social causes are still in use by political parties today.

She was on born on February 15,1820 in Adams, Massachusetts and was the second oldest of eight children. Her parents were Daniel Anthony, a local mill owner, and his wife, Lucy Read. She grew up in a quaker family and in 1826 her family moved to Battenville, New York. She was also sent to study at a Quaker school near Philadelphia around the time.

ruary 15, 1820 by her father, Daniel Anthony, and mother Lucy Read ("Susan B."). Anthony followed her father's religion, which was a Quaker; believes that an Inner Light, or God's spirit, dwelled within each person (Colman 12). Daniel installed the ideas of self-reliance, self-discipline, self-worth and self-sufficient on his children ("Susan B."). Lucy was a wise counseled, tender watching, self-sacrificing devoted mother (Coleman 12). Both of Anthony's parents were strong supporters of the abolitionist: antislavery. Also, they believed in the importance of education and work ("Susan B."). One of the bigger setbacks for Anthony's family was the Panic of 1837, Daniel lost everything, from their clothing, wedding gifts and appliances to the

Abigail Betty's cousin also wanted to be part of practicing witchcraft and I think that's when her uncle thought maybe she had done something to Betty and he told her to cure her. I believe that the truth about Abigail was that she wasn’t a witch .Betty wanted to do witchcraft . Although Abigail had seemed a little scared .One day both of them had gone to the forest and danced ,they had went to the forest ,because the village people believed that when you dance your dancing with the devil.. A few days later I believe they were asking Abigail and Betty what they were doing there and they had said that Mercy was there too. Mercy supposedly had said that she was not doing anything bad that she was just “looking”at them dance . A few days

Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, born on August 28, 1774, in New York, New York, was the first native-born American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. St. Elizabeth grew up in the upper class of society. She was a voracious reader and studied everything from the Bible to modish books.

In 1794, Elizabeth married William Seton, a wealthy young man whom she fell in love with. The first few years of her marriage were joyous and prosperous until many deaths and unfortunate events occurred. The Setons moved to Italy due to

“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home. She figures that since Mrs. Leefolt does not have an outside bathroom for the colored help that Aibileen uses the guess bathroom as well and she refuses to use it. She later talked the Leefolt’s into building Aibileen her own bathroom outside the house… Racism in Jackson was at its prime in the 1960’s during the Civil Rights Movement. All negro women and some men work for white families and are treated like slaves. All over town signs say ‘COLORED’ or ‘WHITES ONLY.’ You did not talk to the colored help unless you were the one they are working for.

Susan B. Anthony protested for suffrage of African Americans and she helped them achieve the Fourteenth Amendment for their right to vote. After seeing this Amendment pass, she thought that it should have extended to include all American citizens, so she voted in the 1872 election of Ulysses S. Grant illegally. Susan B. Anthony recited this speech to dozens of people around the country to persuade them that her vote should have been legal. She practiced reciting this speech to perfect it before she spoke it to persuade a jury. Unfortunately, the judge decided before the trail that Susan B. Anthony was guilty and did not allow her to speak at her own trial because she was a woman (National Susan B. Anthony House). This is one of her most powerful
