Susan B. Anthony
The Invincible!

Audience reactions

"We had a wonderful event at the Rockport Elementary School last week (3-07).  As part of a LSTA grant, Sally Matson was hired to come and play the part of Susan B.Anthony as an introduction to a biography unit for fourth graders.  She is very believable, sends lots of curriculum materials well ahead of her visit, and spends time after the presentation taking questions from the children.  She is very respectful of the children, and does not talk down to them in her presentation......I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to hire in the area of history, biography, or elections and voting.  Her presentation is appropriate for 4-8."  Patricia Hussey, Librarian, Rockport Elementary School, MA

"What a splendid performance.  You captured so well the courage, determination and personality of this woman who gave all Americans so much." Ted Zalewski- SoloTogether founder

"I admire a woman like Miss Anthony who had to stand up to a lot of criticism.  That is a very fearful thing.  Even now I wish this program could get into all the schools.  Her message is one that still needs to be heard."  Ilene Kaplan, Avon Free Library show, CT

"So nice to hear from you.  Since your performance, I've run into a few of the women who attended and they can't say enough about how great you were.  Bravo!!!  T. K.- Program Planning   Time Warner, New York City

"People are still talking about your eloquent and incisive performance.  As a retired librarian I have a special respect for the research that must have preceded the creation of the role of Susan and her supporting cast. That you combined so much information in such an accessible and entertaining format is a great credit to your dedication and artistry. Thank you for a stimulating and provocative evening."  Betty Clark President- Friends of Cary Memorial Library  Lexington, MA

"Many thanks for your magnificent performance and gentle spirit."   Arthur Brisbane Child Treatment Center  Farmingdale, NJ

"When I asked my 8th grade public speaking class to evaluate your presentation of Susan B. Anthony, 24 of the 25 students gave it an A, 1 a B+  - a testimonial of the quality of the performance."  George Neville, Principal, George Washington Middle School, Ridgewood, NJ

"You are the personification of her spirit. Your dress, your manner, your humor, your research, your obvious mission to spread hers, and your professional delivery all come together for a truly great performance."  Carol Devers, American Association of University Women, New Caanan, CT
