Length of Lesson

90 minutes
Abstract It’s not every day that someone gets his or her likeness minted on a silver dollar. That’s exactly what happened to Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Susan B. Anthony, an important leader in the fight to gain women the right to vote. In this lesson students will explore historical documents, texts, artifacts, and songs to understand the Suffrage Movement and identify the contributions of Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams, and other Abolitionists.
