According to the passage, it can be inferred that Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s personal qualities affected the women’s suffrage movement through her ability to write and speak, which helped get the movement's message heard by the public.
On November 12, 1815, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, spokesperson for the rights of
women, was born in Johnstown, New York. Stanton formulated the
philosophical basis of the woman suffrage movement, blazing a trail many
feared to follow.
Stanton's verbal brilliance combined with the organizational 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 that 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
