There was a time when American women weren’t allowed to vote. But Susan B. Anthony, along with many other people, finally made things right.

Susan was born in Adams, Massachusetts in 1820. She learned to read when she was only 3. Later in life, she became a powerful voice for justice and freedom.

Susan B. Anthony spent most of her adult years following her conscience and trying to change the U.S. Constitution. And her hard work paid off: Fourteen years after she died, women finally earned the right to vote.

In honor of her good works, the United States put her picture on a one-dollar coin!

Always keep alive that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.
