Susan B. Anthony, a schoolteacher, paired up with Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851, forming one of the most remarkable partnerships in American history–a fifty two year friendship based on their mutual commitment to establish "a perfect political equality among all classes of citizens, advocacy of many radical reforms. Anthony, who opted to remain a single woman, was an outstanding organizer, who trained several generations of women to mobilize and lobby for their rights.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were in their time the pre-eminent advocates of women’s rights, especially women’s right to vote. Active as reformers, Anthony also gained an international following. And strange as it may seem to many, we then and there declared our right to vote according to the Declaration of the government under which we live.

"The theory of this Government from the beginning has been perfect equality to all the people."
