Courage is having the will to do what you feel is right even if it becomes dangerous or .
You have to be brave to do something courageous. You .
have to put aside your fears and do something to try and make a difference.
There are a lot of courageous women throughout history. Many of them have not .
received the recognition that they deserve. One of the many courageous women is Rosa .
Parks. She stood up for her rights when she refused to give up her seat at the end of a .
tiring day for a white man. Another example would be Mother Teresa. She dedicated her .
life to helping others around the world, especially the poor and sick. The courageous .
woman I chose to write about is Susan B. Anthony.
Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15, 1820. She was born in Adams, .
Massachusetts. Her family were Quakers who believed that men and women were equal .
in status and should receive equal rights in society. Her family supported many important .
reform movements, including anti-slavery and the temperance campaigns.
When Susan was fifteen years old she became a schoolteacher and she taught until she .
was 30 years old. She earned two dollars and fifty cents a week for teaching while her .
male counterparts earned ten dollars a week for the same work. Susan felt that equal pay .
should be offered for equal work. Through her work as a schoolteacher, Susan became .
aware that in society at-large woman did not have the same rights as the men had.
In May 1951, Susan went to an anti-slavery meeting in Senaca Falls near Rochester . .
One day as she and Lucretia Mott walked along a street: they meet Elizabeth Cady .
Stanton who they longed wanted to meet. Stanton was a leader in the women's rights .
movement and they became close friends and allies. Susan became completely loyal to .
the cause of women's rights and became an important leader of the movement. She also .
supported equal education opportunities and property right for women.
