Susan B. Anthony’s Life
By Emma
“FIGHTING FOR EQUAL RIGHTS!” said Susan B. Anthony. Susan wanted equality for men and women, but while she was fighting, she got arrested! So, I am going to share her story with you! Why did she fight, how did she die, what happened to her while she was fighting and other things about her life and her! Let's go find out!
Why and How-how did she die? She died of pneumonia and a heart problem at the age of 86 years old! Why did she fight? She believed everyone should have equal rights and that's how she got arrested. Oof! I think I've had enough, let's move on to what happened to her.
What happened-what happened to her when she was fighting? Susan got arrested for illegally voting! Life was hard in the 1820s-1900. Women were not allowed to vote (they were also not allowed to fight in the wars). Let's see if thar are any other things about her and her life.
Others! That will be a lot of random stuff. What does the “B” stand for? The “B” stands for Bronell, she did not like it very much though-I wonder where she died? In her home in Rochester, New York-When was Susan B. Anthony born and when did she die? Born February 15, 1820, death is March 13, 1906-What were the main colors she wore? It was Black. That’s a lot, and...
I learned a lot about Susan B. Anthony. I think it is super sad that she died because of pneumonia but on the other hand she did live long and the last words she said was “I have been striving for over sixty years for a little bit of justice no bigger than that, and yet I must die without obtaining it.” so sad but true.

Emma Hart Willard
By Emma
Today I am working on a person named Emma Hart Willard. Emma Willard wanted to be a teacher. She was the first women to be a teacher. The things I’m going to be talking about are school & education, who joined & worked with her, and when she was born & when she died.
Emma Willard started her school in 1814 and ended it in 1838. Her school lasted 24 years. At 19, Emma Willard was offered a summer teaching job at a girls school in Middlebury, Vermont. Emma Willard wanted to learn how to be a teacher to help with women’s education. Emma Willard opened a new boarding school for curious women.
Emma Willard’s assistant was Cilia M. Burleigh. Early Americans had joined her cause, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the New York governor, DeWitt Clinton.
Emma Willard was born Feb. 23, 1787, and died April 15, 1870, at the age of 83.
I think Emma Willard is very cool because of all the things she did. For example, Emma Willard was the first women to be a teacher in her long life.
