It is not known, but it is believed to be very likely that she was a lesbian. Many other woman who led the woman's right movement were also gay. Susan B. Anthony is believed by some to be one of those women.

What were Susan B. Anthony's goals?

Susan B. Anthony was extremely active not only in the anti-slavery movement, but also contributed a huge amount of time and effort for equal rights for women. Once she found out that the male teachers in Canajoharie, New York were receiving a monthly pay of ten dollars a month while the female teachers were only receiving two dollars and fifty cents a month she and her entire family went to the 1848 Rochester WomanÕs Rights Convention. Apropos, her Quaker upbringing, her stand for anti-slavery reforms and her passion for equal rights; this was the real beginning to Anthony's contribution to the women's movement. Starting in 1853, she began campaigning for equal property rights for women. She did this by getting petitions signed, speaking at meetings and lobbying for state legislatures. In 1854, she spoke at the National Women's Rights Convention, urging for more campaigns and petitions. Then,1856, Anthony begin writing publications and leaflets for equal rights. In 1868, Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton became the newspaper editors for the movement's publication known as the 'The Revolution'. In 1872, she was arrested for leading a band of women to the polls where they voted in the election. She was tried, found guilty and ordered to pay a one hundred dollar fine. She refused to pay the fine and the judge let her refusal stand. By letting Anthony off the hook for the fine, it denied her the right to file an appeal and take her case to the Supreme Court of the United States. Anthony served on numerous boards and committees for equal rights in her life time. The nineteenth amendment, that was passed in 1920, giving equal rights to women, was called the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.

Teddy Pendergrass never publicly discussed his sexual orientation. We know that he was married twice.He was in a bad car accident in 1982. His passenger was a transsexual night club performer who he was not previously acquainted with, and this may have given rise to unsubstantiated rumors.


Did they show how Miley Stewarts mom died on Hannah Montana?

Miley Stewart's mother, Susan B. Stewart, died 3 years prior to season 1 of the Walt Disney TV show,Hannah Montana. The last episode of the series was shown at the start of 2011, but it was never clarified at any time during the series, nor in the movie, exactly how Susan died. She left a video for her daughter so it's probably safe to say she knew she was dying from a terminal illness, but we don't know exactly why she died.The character of Susan B. Stewart was portrayed by Brooke Shields during dream sequences and in family photographs and videos.
