Was it really that bad?

In 1851, Elizabeth Cady Stanton started working with Susan B. Anthony, a well-known abolitionist.

The two women made a great team. Anthony managed the business affairs of the women's rights

movement while Stanton did most of the writing. Together they edited and published a woman's newspaper, the

Revolution, from 1868 to 1870. In 1869, Anthony and Stanton formed the National Woman

Suffrage Association. They traveled all over the country and

abroad, promoting woman's rights.

College Educated Women see suffrage as a civil right
