My first major success I had at the age of 17 when I was collecting money for anti-slavery and started the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York. Then I started getting more involved in women's rights and developed the Women's Loyal National League with my good friend Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Other things I did to get women some equal rights were the American Equal Rights Association, National Women's Suffrage Association, the International Council of Women, and I also started to get the ball rolling so the 19th amendment could be passed to get women equal voting rights. With many of my successes I also had many failures I got arrested in my home town for trying to vote and my trial was very public so many people started to have different views on me. Another failure is when I shared my views on marriage which many people did not like so I got even more mixed views which made some things harder to do.
You should be very proud of both you successes and your failures. You have started many great movements for the rights of the women. Even though your failures may have changed the way some people viewed you, you did what you thought was right and do not be ashamed of that.

Hello my name is Susan B. Anthony, I was born on February 15th in the year of 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts.I was born into a quaker family, we were very committed to social equality. In my teenage years I collected anti-slavery petitions, which lead to me becoming the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery society in 1856. I guess you can say that’s really where I got my start into the whole political reformer scene. All I want is for women to get the rights we most certainly deser ve. Our technology and innovations should not more forward before your societies.
