Who were the leaders of the women's suffrage movement?
Once, in many countries, women were told something silly: you may live here, work here, pay taxes here — but you may not vote. Voting is just deciding who runs things.

In the United States, two friends led the charge for decades: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Stanton was the writer — she put the bold ideas into words. Anthony was the traveler — she crossed the country giving speeches and gathering names. Together they were a kind of two-person engine that never quite ran out of fuel.
