When Anthony Met Stanton

In May 1851, a chance encounter on the streets of Seneca Falls altered the struggle for women's rights when Amelia Jenks Bloomer introduced Susan B. Anthony to Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The friendship forged between Stanton and Anthony gave direction and momentum to the seventy-two-year struggle for women's suffrage, which culminated on August 26, 1920 in the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United Stated Constitution. Neither woman lived to see this happen.
