Susan B. Anthony

By: L. S.

Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15, 1812, in Addams, Massachusetts. She lived up to 86 years old. Did you know that Susan B. Anthony had 7 other siblings? First, I will be talking about early life, next, I will be talking about facts, finally I will be talking about her accomplishments.

Susan grew up in Massachusetts then Susans family moved to New York in 1826. Susan then became a teacher in 1838; she stopped teaching in 1849. Susan then became a reformer, mostly in Rochester, New York.

Next, I will share some facts about Susan. The B. is her middle name and stands for Brownell. Her favorite food is sponge cake. She was also a lifelong friend of Fredrick Douglass.

Not only did Susan B. Anthony fight for women's rights, but she also fought for black people's right to vote. She also fought to end slavery. She accomplished ablation for Americans, and she also accomplished womens property rights.

I feel like she lived a good and full life, and she accomplished so much more than imagined for white women. In my opinion I don't fully agree with all her beliefs, but she was still very fun to research, and she was a really cool person.

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.
