Susan B. Anthony



On October 8, Salt and Light had the opportunity to witness a dramatic presentation of Susan B. Anthony performed by Linda Duckworth.  

Susan B. Anthony was born February 15,, 1820 in Massachusetts.  She was pivotal in the woman’s rights movement and dedicated much of her life toward women suffrage.  Not only did she lecture and campaign for women to have the right to vote and hold office, but also for women to be allowed to own land, build wealth, and attend higher learning institutions.  Susan B. Anthony was also opposed to the practice of slavery, and spoke out against it.    Her life was marked by strength and compassion.
