On November 12, 1815 Elizabeth Cady Stanton spokesperson for the rights of women was born in Johnston, New York. Stanton formulated the philosophical basis of the woman suffrage movement, blazing a trail many feared to follow.
Stanton verbal brilliance combined with the organization ability and mental focus of her lifelong collaborator Susan B. Anthony made the two women a formidable resource to the early cause.
Miss Anthony... invariably gave Mrs. Stanton credit for all was accomplished. She often said that Mrs. Stanton was the brains of the new association, while she herself was merely its hands and feet; but in truth the two women worked marvelously together, for Mrs. Stanton was a master of words and could write and speak to perfection of the things Susan B. Anthony saw and felt but could not herself express.-Anna Howard Shaw, The story of a Pioneer
