Read the excerpt from “Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph.” When her work in the South was finished, Harriet finally ret

urned to her home in New York. There she helped former enslaved persons adjust to their new lives. It would seem like her life’s work was over, now that freedom and education for former enslaved persons was assured. However, a life of ease was not part of Harriet’s plan, and it was no surprise to those who knew her that she took up yet another cause. Before long she was off on a tour with Susan B. Anthony to rally support for women’s right to vote. Finally, at the age of 83, Harriet Tubman was ready to return home for good. She did so, and then immediately had a house built nearby to serve homeless seniors. She then worked at the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged until 1911, when she became too frail to do so and was made an honorary resident. She died in 1913 at the age of 93 and was buried with full military honors. It was a fitting celebration for a woman who was born enslaved, yet chose to use her free life in ways that served us all. Which detail from the excerpt reveals a change in public attitude during Harriet Tubman’s lifetime? Tubman built a home for homeless seniors. Tubman was buried with full military honors. Tubman returned home at the age of 83. Tubman helped former slaves adjust to freedom.

Answer:

<h3>Susan B. Anthony was a crusader for equal rights.</h3>

Susan B. Anthony was an American activist for women's emancipation and political rights.

Anthony grew up in a quaker family and initially worked as a teacher. She was an early advocate for the abolition of slavery along with her family who joined the Abolitionist movement during the 1840s when the family moved to the city of Rochester in New York. This laid the foundation for her focus as a social reformer, focusing on issues such as women's economic situation and women's suffrage. She also came to represent the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York until the start of the Civil War.

After a period of work on his family's farm, Anthony came to work on women's rights issues and social reforms full-time. She became involved in what came to be called the suffragette movement, where she came to play a central role. Together with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. She constantly expressed her opinion through lectures and writings that the key to women's liberation lay in political representation. She also emphasized that all other reforms, however important they may be, could never be more important than the demand for women's suffrage.

Almost immediately after joining the movement, she signed a petition addressed to the New York state legislature. There, she demanded three major reforms: 1) the woman's right to manage her own earnings, 2) the custody of the children in the event of a divorce, and 3) the right to vote. Her and organization's efforts finally won the hearing, and in 1860 the state of New York passed a bill that gave the woman the right to "in addition to possessing property also dispose of her own earnings, initiate process and, upon the death of her husband, have the same rights as he had over his wife had passed away before him ". These reforms were a step on the road for women in New York.

When the Civil War broke out in 1861, all activities for women's liberation ceased. Some followers such as Louisa May Alcott chose to work as a nurse, but Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton visited all major cities instead with the slogan "No compromises with slave owners"; they succeeded in gathering 400,000 signatures, which led Congress to approve the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which meant that all slaves would be released immediately.

Work on women's right to vote came to continue to be pursued through the National Woman Suffrage Association and only in 1920, 14 years after Anthony's death as the United States introduced female suffrage through the 19th Amendment.

90% of runners in a marathon successfully completed it. 30% of these runners were men. How many total runners began the marathon
Semmy [17]

The total runners who began the marathon is 1000

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Runners who completed the marathon = 90%

Men = 30%

Number of men completed the marathon = 270

Total runners who began the marathon = ?

Let the total runners be x

According to question:

Runners who completed the marathon = \frac{90}{100} X x

                                                                 = 0.9x

and,

\frac{30}{100} X 0.9 x = 270

Solving further:

0.9x = \frac{270 X 100}{30} \\\\x = \frac{270 X 100}{30 X 0.9} \\\\x = 1000

Therefore, total runners who began the marathon is 1000
