A person who did something

Hello people! How are you? In this cold days, I had survive. But I always want to stay at home and be in my warm bed sleeping with no world's worries. Possibly, is something that many people wants. 


  My college, for example, gives me a lot of worries, like the homeworks, the examns, the credits, etc. However, it's delightful being  in this place. "How is that?" you may ask. Well, I learned about many things, even if I didn't like some of them. Also I learned about a lot of people that writed of the political sciences or public administration, being the majority men that used most of their time investigating. Sadly, that just show me that they have a lot of free time, because a big part of them never need to work... At least, some of them like Henri Fayol, Frederick Taylor, Karl Marx and others had to work for own some money, and as a starting point, they began writting about the political or administral issues that they saw.  But they never had to take charge of their home or their family and all the responsability that society gives to the woman.


  So there's a women that I want to talk about, but I'm not very sure if she counts as someone of my field: Susan B. Anthony, a feminist and a prominent american civil leader in the United States. 




   She was born in February 15th in 1820. At the age of 29, she moved to New York, taking part of conventionts about the temperance movements. But that was just the start, because later she traveled a thousand miles across the United States and Europe, giving over 70 and 150 convetions per year about the vote and women`s civil rights. It didn't matter how, she moved to all the places as posible, even if it had to be in carriage, train's wagon, mules, bicycles, ferrys or a dog sled. This journey was a big part of her life, being around 45 years that took for teach and informate all people about the unfair tratement between this two genders. It was March 13th of 1920 when she died in Ronchester because a pneumonia. 


  The first time I knew about her was in Power Puff Girls jajajaja. They talk about her and how police send her to jail for voting. She claimed that she must be traited like a man and wanted to be judged as well. 


   I chose her because of the effort that she make for advocate about the equal rights in her sexist society. She was a precursor of the women's rights, but also a fighting woman, that tried all her best for make a difference. I mean, she DID something for the people, no like the men that we learn about. They sit in their table to write about important things, but the ones that my teachers talk about were a zero on the left. I know that men made great things for the history, but in my personal opinion, part of they did it in scorn of women.


   Well, that's all for today. I hope that you, women and men, don't take my opinion as an attack of a fervent feminist, it was just a though across my mind. I'm in favor of equal rights, that's all.




  See you soon


Take care and eat cake.
