worked more than 50 years for women to have the right to vote in the United States
become headmistress of the Female Department at the Canajoharie Academy

10. Nevermore
If Susan B. Anthony never existed life would be somewhat hard for women. I wouldn’t be able to vote even if I was eighteen, because men wouldn’t allow it. Women would be expected to stay at home and cook, clean and have a meal on the table when the men got home. Even if Susan didn’t exist there are still other great women’s right activists. But without Susan would others have joined? I think yes, because every woman has her own opinion.
