“Failure is impossible.”
What a simple statement of confidence this is. Some might doubt it but Susan B. Anthony did not. And she knew that her commitment and belief would be necessary to support others who did not share it, yet.
Anthony’s spirited 50-year fight to gain the vote for women is detailed in a biography that gets its title from this quote: Failure Is Impossible: Susan B. Anthony in Her Own Words
by Lynn Sherr.

Fun facts are tidbits of information about the hero. They may be events or details – in most cases they are as unique as the hero him/herself.
