Susan B. Anthony Speech
By Jailene
Good day, I
am Susan B. Anthony. I was born in 1820 in Massachusetts. My family and I were
Quakers. I was the 2nd of the 8 kids. I learned to read and write
when I was 3 years old.
I went to
school in New York. My father ran a cotton mill. My father raised his children
in the Quaker religion. When I was young people believed a women’s place was at
home, cooking, cleaning, and raising children.
I was a
teacher for fifteen years and I earned 2 dollar and 50 cents a week. I was
unhappy that men were paid four times more for doing the same job. In 1851, I
met Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Stanton was one of the leaders of the new women’s
rights movement. Over the next fifty years we led the fight for women’s rights.
I worked all
my life to get the vote for women. On my eight-sixth birthday I said, ‘’Failure
is impossible!”I died on March 13 1906. (Bow)
