Susan B. Anthony

By: Teri Kanefield

Narrated by: Joyce Bean

Author Teri Kanefield examines the life of America’s famous suffragette, Susan B. Anthony. Anthony was born into a world in which men ruled women: A man could beat his wife, take her earnings, have her committed into an asylum based on his word, and take her children away from her.

While the young nation was ablaze with the radical notion that people could govern themselves, “people” were understood to be white and male. Women were expected to stay out of public life and debates. As Anthony saw the situation, “Women’s subsistence is in the hands of men, and most arbitrarily and unjustly does he exercise his consequent power.” She began her public career as a radical abolitionist, and after the Civil War, she became an international figurehead of the women’s suffrage movement.

So Inspirational and Informative

Really enjoyed listening great even for kids.
Both boys and girls can learn so much.

Liberal angle

Written from a very liberal viewpoint and was against men well getting her point across

no mention of her anti abortion policies but good

id still recommend the book but keep in mind there are anti conservative undertones, no mentioning of her and her newspapers support of the pro life anti abortion movement, and regarding Hillary Clinton as a hero for women to look up to was something im not sure Anthony would want to do
