Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. Susan grew up in a very religious home. In her young years, she grew a sense of justice for her country after getting arrested for trying to vote. She was taken to trial and realized that everyone in the courtroom were males. Susan decided that women should have an equal chance to be in politics just as much as men.
After 15 years of teaching, she retired and made a name for herself in probation for protesting when the government said no to her suggestions. Though not aloud at rallies (because she was a women and women weren't aloud in politics in the 1800's), Susan still made a point of herself.

Susan B. Anthony, joined women's rights in 1852. She ignored all of the discouragement and abuse that could have stopped her and disappointed her. Because of that, Susan became a women’s rights spokesperson and became known throughout politics discussing that subject.

The 2 colors make this a little tricky to read. How did she grow a sense of justice? What is temperance? Why wasn't she allowed at rallies? So many questions I still have from what I've read here. Can you go add to it maybe?
