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.
