built 200 days ago
Before she was sixteen, Anthony started to teach, taking small jobs near her home. However, she began to feel that her own education had not been enough. Her father, who as a Quaker encouraged education in his daughters, enrolled her in Deborah Moulson's Female Seminary, a Quaker boarding school in Philadelphia, in 1837.

The second of eight children, Susan was born into a strict Quaker family. Susan learned to read and write at the age of three, as her father was a stern man who believed in a strong education--even for his daughters. Most women did not receive a formal education during Susan's childhood.

Anthony continued teaching to help her family pay the bills until 1849, when her father asked her to come home to run the family farm so that he could spend more time trying to develop an insurance business. Many famous reformers, such as Frederick Douglass (1817–1895), William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879), and Wendell Phillips (1811–1884), came to visit Anthony's father during this time. Hearing their discussions helped Susan form her strong views on slavery, women's rights, and temperance (the avoidance of alcohol).

In 1849, when Susan came back home to Rochester, her father had started inviting his friends who wanted to talk about getting rid of slavery. She listened to her father and to others who wanted to help slaves find freedom.
