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.

Phillis Wheatley was an African American woman, who was a servant to a man named John Wheatley and his family since she was seven years old. Within about sixteen months Wheatley was able to read and write in English, thanks to her tutor, Mary Wheatley the daughter of John Wheatley. When Wheatley was only 12 she managed to learn both Greek and Latin and started writing her poetry.

The Catholic church is one of the best known religions today. Yet it was not like this before in the olden times. The Church was not reaching out into the outer peripheries. Many people in general did not know what Catholicism was. They were misguided by the pagan priests who taught them false teachings of tree-rock-sun worship. Every time the Church would attempt to evangalize these countries they would be thrown out or the evangalizers would be killed in barbaric ways. Yet 1 man stood out and managed to succesfully evangalize most of Prague and Poland. That mans name was St. Adalbert.

One of the first Negro Educators of South Mississippi, she was loved, respected, and honored by the entire Poplar Hill Community. Her devotion to the community matched that which was extended to her. She did all that was in her power to assure the success of community activities. One small example which stands out in my memory was her annual dinner which served large numbers of students from Alcorn College and other visitors who had come for the church revival. She felt that such guests must not have to return home without eating; also, one should not have to eat food on the church grounds. That would

Mary Ward was born on January 23, 1585 in North Yorkshire, England to a catholic family. Four years after she was born, in 1589 her family home was burned down in an anti-Catholic attack but she and her sisters were saved by her father. She entered the religious life at the age of 15 by entering the Poor Clare Convent in Saint- Omer in France after feeling a call to a religious life.

However, Church authorities were opposed to the idea because before Mary Ward had gathered women to be active outside of enclosed walls, women would only work in cloistered communities if they wanted to pursue a religious life. Mary was also imprisoned by the English
