Bom in January 1793 in Nantucket, Massachusetts,
Mott worked agams't slavery and alcohol, and she
played a role in starting the women's suffrage—
right to vote —movement
9
Along with rearing six children, Molt was a
teacher It was during her time as a teacher that
Mott realized how unfair it was that women only
made about half of what men made as teachers
i
At an 1840 meeting of the World Anti-Slavery
Conference, Molt met Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Because they were women, they were not allowed
to be involved in the conference That led to the
two women starting the women’s rights movement
in 1848 They wanted basic civil rights, like being
able to vote and own property, for women, too
By 1880, the year Mott died, women could hold
property m many states and could attend some
colleges However, Mott did not get to see her
hard work m the suffrage movement pay off
Women were not allowed to vote until 1920

To Breath

million kids have asthma?
And did you know that there
are 10 million missed school
days each year because of It?
Asthma Is a disease In which the normal function
of the lungs Increases. The airways that lead to
the lungs become sensitive, which In turn causes
a person to have problems breathing
Wheezing, a squeaky sound when someone
breaths, coughing and shortness of breath
are symptoms of asthma. The disease can
be triggered by a number of things:
Exercise —running or jumping
Infections—bronchitis or sinus problems
Allergies —reactions to dust or pets
Irritants —cigarette smoke or strong smells
Weather —cold air or wind
Emotions —crying, laughing or stress
Some asthma problems can be avoided by staying
away from the things listed above that trigger
the disease. Depending on how they suffer from
It, children are given medication to help control
asthma. For those who have allergies to things
like cats or flowers, there are allergy shots to
help with the sneezing and other symptoms.
Asthma should taken seriously. Whether you
or someone you know has asthma. It’s Important
that you know what triggers the disease and what
to do If someone Is having problems breathing.
