Description
Like other girls of her time Susan B. Anthony learned how to cook and sew. But unlike most girls she also received an education. She learned reading, writing, and arithmetic. She was also taught that girls and women could do anything boys and men could do-if only they were allowed. So Susan set out to change the laws. She fought for a woman's right to own property, hold down a job, and, most important, vote. The right to vote would become Susan's lifelong mission. In this Aladdin Ready-to-Read, Susan's story comes alive through words and pictures, giving burgeoning readers the opportunity to discover her many accomplishments for themselves.

Summary: Susan grew up in a time where women and men were not treated equally. She also grew up during slavery. Her mother and her worked on Susan's father's mill. Her goal was to help women and men be treated more equally. Unlike many other women during this time, Susan's father helped her attain an education as a young girl. This was very beneficial. After her father lost his mill and their house, Susan became a teacher to help with money. She even became a head teacher at the school! When Susan turned 30 years old, she went to live back with her family on their new farm in New York. Her family decided to become a part of the underground railroad and help runaway slaves. Susan soon became good friends with Mrs. Stanton through the underground railroad. They both fought for gender equality and wanted to abolish slavery. After a while, Susan began traveling alone to spread the word on equality. Many times, huge crowds would gather and pay to hear Susan speak about this subject. When elections came around, Susan and more than a hundred other women went to voting polls to vote. However, Susan was arrested and found guilty at her trial. She still did not give up. Even though voting was not allowed for women until 14 years after Susan died, she encouraged women to never give up.
