Her mother, Lucy, and father, Daniel, also had 6 more children after her. Making a total of 8 children, Susan being the second born. Her father, Daniel, was a stern Quaker Abolitionist and a cotton manufacture. Susan was a bright child, learning to read and write at the age of three. In 1826, The Anthonys moved from Massachusetts to Battensville, New York. There Susan was enrolled in a district school, but the teacher refused to teach her long term, so Susan and her other siblings were withdrawn from school and taught in a home school set up by their father. This home school was run by a woman named Mary Perkins. Mary showed Susan and her sisters a new version of womanhood. Susan was independent and educated and held a high position for a woman of her time. After settling her family in Rochester, New York she began her public crusade on behalf of women's rights. http://womenshistory.about.com/od/anthonysusanb/a/anthony.htm This site goes in-depth to Susan and political civil right's actions.
