A Look at the Past:

Susan B. Anthony - Born in 1820 no one believed one girl would change the nation of millions. Susan B. Anthony fought to be heard and to be equal. She knew she was smart and she had alot to say. She was a women's rights activist and civil rights leader. She believed that everyone deserved to have the same rights no matter race, age, gender or former servitude. Susan wanted people to hear her, she wanted to have a say in the way things were being ran in her community and her nation. She pushed for the women's right to vote and she succeded. Women can vote, and they're heard today. She changed the world but for women in particular, she made women matter.

Ida Tarbell - In the late 1870's an amazing women was born that no one believed would fight for her voice to be heard and be heard by others across the nation. One of the most famous muckrakers during the progressive reform, Ida Tarbell. Her father went bankrupt do to the trusts, one in particular, John Rockefeller. Ida became a writer in her mid-age. She wrote for the New York Times and she changed New York as they knew it back then because of what she wrote. At first when she started writing about Robber Baron's she was writing it over the Standard Oil Trust and what was being done wrong. Later she found out who the trusty was, none other than John Rockefeller. She knew she couldn't let her own opinion change what she was writing. So she wrote all facts, about things like the well being of the people and community to the right and wrong of what the trusties were doing. Ida Tarbell became one of the leading muckrakers of her time. She thought it was unfair of the big rick business men (robber baron's) to take everything and not give any back causing the people to go bankrupt and loss their land and homes. Ida wanted to make the people aware of what was happening and encourage them to fight back. By her doing all this she changed the gov't and nation and letting people know they can fight back.

Ida B. Wells - Born in the 1890's, she fought her whole life to premote racial equality and fight against lynching. She wrote in a newspaper for years, but she didn't use her name she wrote under the name Iola. In later years she published a book called "A Red Record" about lynching and what was causing it in the world. Later in her life she went on to establish a organization called NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the oldest civil rights organization in the country. She also went on to become a part of "Committee of 40". Ida B. Wells wanted to show people what was happening to the colored people was wrong and needed to be prevented; to her this idea also applied to lynching. Ida B. Wells worked very hard in her life, and she was another person who helped shape the world as we know it today.
