Anthony's birthday and I agreed with her that it would be a good idea to mention it on this listserv. I found the following website which you may want to share with your learners: http://www.susanbanthonyhouse.org/ At this site, you can go on a virtual tour of her house-I did it and it was a lot of fun (on the left side of the screen you will see "online tour."). Here are some facts that I learned from this site: -Susan B. Anthony was arrested for voting in the 1872 election. She hoped to prove that women had the legal right to vote under the provisions of the recently passed 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. At her trial she was found guilty and fined $100, which she refused to pay. - Her sister, Mary, was the first woman principal in Rochester, NY and accepted the position only on the condition that her salary equal her male predecessor. - In addition to her suffragist campaigns, she also rallied for the abolition of slavery, women's rights to their own property and earnings, and women's labor organizations. In 1900, she successfully persuaded the University of Rochester to admit women.
