Read the following passage and write short answers to each of the questions from 25 to 29.
Susan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15, 1820, in Massachusetts. When she was
seven years old, her family moved to New York. Susan received her education at a school her
father ran. As soon as Susan finished school, she went right to work. She became a teacher in
New York in 1839. In those days, very few women worked outside their homes. While Susan was
teaching there, she earned just one-fifth of the pay a man got in the same job. She knew this was
not fair. Susan wanted fair treatment as well as equal pay, so she devoted herself to the rights of
women and supported complete equality between men and women. In 1851, Susan met Elizabeth
Cady Stanton. They became very good friends and worked together for over 50 years fighting for
women’s rights. In 1868, Susan, together with Elizabeth, published The Revolution, which was a
weekly journal about women’s rights and suffrage. At that time, women were not given the vote
because they were considered to be ‘incapable of rational thought’. She became vice-president-at-
large of the National Woman’s Suffrage Association (NWSA) from 1869 until 1892, when she
became president. On November 5th, 1872, Susan was arrested for voting illegally in the
presidential election. She was charged a fine but she wouldn’t pay it. When Susan died on March
13th, 1906, women in four states had the right to vote. Fourteen years later, the Nineteenth
Amendment gave all American women that right. Susan B. Anthony was honored on the US dollar
coin in 1979.
