Susan B. Anthony Speech
By Karen
I was born
in Adam, Massachusetts, in 1820.
When I was a
child I believed when all people should be treated equally. But most people
disagree with me. I know it’s not fair. I knew everyone was equal. When I went
to school to learn the teacher said I can’t come to school because I am a girl.
In 1826, my family moves to Battensville, New York.
I work to be
a teacher to teach kids. I like my job but I was angry when I learn about when
I learn about male teachers are paid four times as I did. I want to make a club
only for women but not for men. I meet Elizabeth Cady Stanton and we want to
team up with other women. I was a great speaker. I want to call our club “The
Revolution”. Many people did not agree with my ideas. My ideas are new, and
some people were afraid of them. Many people agree that slaves should be free.
But I’m not going to give up. In 1872, I let my three sisters to vote in the
presidential election. But I got arrested soon after. The judge said I got to
pay $100, but the judge released me anyway. My arrests bring the subject of
women’s suffrage.
I died in
1906 before women get to vote. In 1979,I was in a dollar coin make by the Americans.
