Later the same year she was presented with a gold Silver Fish, one of only two ever made. She was elected World Chief Guide in 1930.\n\nIn 1932, she was awarded the Dame Grand Cross of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (GBE) by King George V. As well as making a major contribution to the development of the Guide / Girl Scout movements, she visited 111 countries during her life attending Jamborees and national Guide and Scout associations. Her father also bought her Pax Hill near Bentley, Hampshire as a family home where she lived with her husband from 1918 until 1939.

Go to PBS.com and look up some of their stuff on her.\n\nThey had a great show on her a couple years ago that blew my mind. For example, I never knew how far right she was... omg to the extreme. She also refused to hire any other women on her staff or appoint any other females. She believed they would be too much competition.\n\nCheck it out. It will throw u for a loop.\n\nOh yeah and she also believed in British imperalism and stated she wanted to make Britain great again by reimposing the global imperalism that Britain had once attained.

Susan Brownell Anthony, (February 17, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was a prominent American civil rights leader who, along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, led the effort to secure Women's suffrage in the United States.\n\nnthony was very self-conscious, both of her looks (one eye always pointed slightly outwards) and of her speaking abilities. She long resisted public speaking for fear her speech would not be good enough. However, throughout her lifetime, Anthony worked endlessly. She traveled thousands of miles each year throughout the United States and Europe giving speeches on suffrage (75 to 100 speeches per year for 45 years). She traveled by carriage, wagon, train, mule, stagecoach, ship, ferry boat and sleigh.\n\nAnthony died at Rochester, New York, on March 13, 1906 and is buried there in Mount Hope Cemetery. Anthony is known as "The Mother of us all."
