Sisterhood

This paper takes a look at the sisterly relationship between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, the pioneers of women’s rights movement in the United States of America. The friendship and intellectual collaboration between the two spanned nearly fifty years in an age which was to see the struggle for many rights including suffrage for black men and for American women. Although both the women did not see the fruits of their toil and labor bear fruit in their lifetime, they are an inspiration to the many through the ages whose cause they served. In this paper, their relationship is examined based on their papers and correspondence.
