Susan Brownwell Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in a small
town called Adams, in Massachusetts. Born into a rather large Quaker family,
Anthony and her siblings were brought up as equals. Susan’s father – Daniel
Anthony, believed that all his children should have the same upbringing no
matter if they were a girl or a boy. Susan B. Anthony was the second oldest of
eight children and was sent to Philadelphia when she was around 6 years old to
attend a highly regarded Quaker school. Her father’s business however; failed,
and Susan was sent back home to become a teacher in order to help ends meet. She
quit enjoyed her time as a teacher, and when her family decided to move to
Rochester, New York, she decided to go with them, for she had no desire to stay
in Adams by herself. Once settled in New York, Anthony became the head of the
Canajoharie Academy’s girl department, which she quit enjoyed.
On March 13, 1906, Anthony died in her home in Rochester, New York at the age of
86.
