Her mom, Lucy, fought in the American Revolution. B. Anthony got inspired by the Quaker belief. The Quaker belief was that everyone was equal under God. This inspiration stuck with her through her whole life. They moved to Battenville, New York. But then, in 1837, her dad’s company collapsed. He lost almost everything he had.

       B. Anthony started working as a teacher to help raise money for her dad. But, since women’s rights are not equal with men, a man would get four times as many money as women. All of this was messed up to her. She was trying to convince the government to let girls vote. At this time, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

She’s been trying to help women vote for the next 37 years of her life.
