             Anthony was born February 15,1820 in Adams Massachusetts. Since Susan was brought up in a Quaker family with long activist traditions, she in her early life developed a sense of justice and moral zeal that helped Susan's to accomplish her goals as a world reformer. Because of her decision to start this goal today the women society enjoys the same freedom as men. This short narrative essay will explain how Susan through the "Temperance movement", "The Revolution" article and the " Women's Rights Campaigner" was able to bring her objectives forward as a world reformer. .
             One of Susan's first active participation in the world of reform was in the temperance movement. This was one of the first declarations of original feminism in the United States and it had to do with the abuses of women and children who suffered from alcoholic husbands. In 1849, Susan gave her first public speech for the Daughters of Temperance and then helped found the Woman's State Temperance Society of New York, one of the first organizations of its time. In 1851 she went to Syracuse to attend a series of antislavery meetings. During this time Susan met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, became fast friends and joined Stanton and Amelia Bloomer in campaigns for women's rights. In 1854, she devoted herself to the antislavery movement serving from 1856 to the beginning of the civil war in1861. There Susan worked as an agent for the American Anti-slavery Society. Not to soon after, she helped with Stanton and published the New York liberal weekly, "The Revolution" (1868-70) which wanted to get equal pay for women.
             One of Susan second commitment in the world of reform Susan was her article called "The Revolution", first published in 1868. The paper written by Susan recommended an eight- hour day and equal pay for equal work. It also promoted a policy of purchasing American- made goods and encouraging immigration to rebuild the South and settle the entire country.
