On February 15, 1820 a little baby girl by the name of Susan B. Anthony was born in Adams, Massachutes. She was born into a poor quaker family and was a very intelligent child for her age. Quakers were people that believed in God and Susan B. Anthony was inspired by her religion because quakers believe everyone is made equally under God.  In her family everyone was expected to learn and know the right behavior. At the age of 3 years old she could already read and write. She had two sisters, two brothers, a dad by the name of Daniel, and a mom by the name of Lucy. After the family moved to New York, Susan attended a district school before her dad set up a boarding school close to Philadelphia.    

As a girl growing up in the 1800’s, Susan usually wasn’t allowed to do everything that a boy could do. She was often told what to wear, what to do, but most of all, what she couldn’t do. After a while, Susan B. Anthony met and was inspired by many different world leaders such as: Fredrick Dougals, William Henry Channing, Parker Pillsbury, and many others. However, after meeting and talking to a woman by the name of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she started getting involved with what was known as “women's suffrage.” Another thing that got Susan B. Anthony into the fight for women’s rights, was when she wasn’t allowed to talk for in a convention for being a woman. Susan B. Anthony was a very intelligent woman and she felt that all women should be able to have the same rights as men.  

During her protest, Susan B. Anthony got arrested several times. But, she didn’t let that stop her from getting equal rights for women. Before all the protest, Susan met a woman by the name of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1866, Susan and Elizabeth both started an association for american equal rights, which was people of different gender should still be awarded the same rights. Then in 1869, Elizabeth and Susan both organized a group called: The National American’s Woman Suffrage Association (NAWS). Susan was the president and Elizabeth was the vice-president. Together this strong group of women protested and got arrested for something they strongly agreed on. Susan, as well as the women's suffrage campaigns, protest about 8 other different campaigns, one of them being anti-slavery.
