Susan B. Anthony

Susan was an American civil rights leader and feminist who defends the women's right and she introduced women's suffrage into the United States. She was born in West Grove, Adams (Massachusetts) the 15 February. Their parents were Daniel Anthony and Lucy Lee, Susan had 6 siblings. Her father was a cotton manufacture and abolitionist, who was born into the Quaker religion. Susan's mother was a student in Daniel's school, where they two fell in love and agreed to marry in 1817.
Susan was a precocious child, she learned to read and write at age three. When she was six years old they moved from Massachusetts to Battenville (New York). Susan went to a local school, where she had a further education.
In 1839 Susan and her family moved to Hardcrabble, where she had her first job.

                                                 

Susan is famous because she defend the women's right and introduced women's suffrage into the United States.When she was 29 years old, she began to take part in conventions and gatherings related to the temperance movement, and she began to distance herself from the Quakers. Anthony participated in every subsequent annual National Women's Rights Convention, and served as convention president in 1858.

Later, in 1893, she joined with Helen Barrett Montgomery in forming a chapter of the woman's Education and Industrial Union in Rochester. One of her most important projects was the National Woman Suffrage Association. Susan and Stanton founded this Association in 1869, and the Association dedicated to gaining women's suffrage. Anthony served as vice-president-at-large until 1892.

Anthony retired in 1900, after that Anthony remained in Rochester, where she died at the age of 86 of heart failure and pneumonia in her house on March 13, 1906. 

But at last she and her ideas succeed because, fourteen years after Anthony's death, following assiduous campaigning, women's right to vote was affirmed on August 26, 1920, by passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S.A. Constitution.

In the past in Ireland celebrated a similar feast this day for celebreated the end of the harvest season. They wore masks and costumes to chase away the bad espirits.

Moulin Rouge

Today, I'm going to talk about a film that I saw this weekend: "Moulin Rouge".

This is a musical and romantic film. It's about a poor writer from England, Christian and a famous actress and singer of the Moulin Rouge, Satine. 

One night Christian was in the Moulin Rouge and by a confusion, they end together in Satine's bedroom and fall in love. When Satine realizes that he isn't the duke who is going to pay her theatre play it's too late because she was in love with Christian and they continue their relationship in secret, because she promised to the Duke that they would be together after the night of the premiere of the play. 

The film talks about the real love and Christian says this sentence about the love: "Without a doubt, the greatest thing that can happen in life is to love and to be returned". 

The important actors are:

-Nicole Kidman: Satine

-Ewan McGregor: Christian

-Richard Roxburgh: The Dukeof Monroth

The film takes place in 1900, and here I give you the trailer:
