Susan B. Anthony attended the Academy at Mount Hope, which was a Quaker institution in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She enrolled there in 1846.
Although she didn’t graduate, the experience was pivotal for her education and activism. The Academy provided her with a robust foundation in subjects like mathematics, history, and rhetoric, which she would later apply in her work for women’s rights. Anthony quickly became involved in social reform movements, using her education to advocate for causes such as suffrage, temperance, and education reform. Her intellectual growth at Mount Hope was instrumental in shaping her into one of the leading figures in the fight for women’s rights in the United States.
