Elizabeth Cady Stanton persevered personal rejection and unceasing anti-suffragist attitudes, and she never gave up. Although she did not live to see the passage of the 19th Amendment, she established a foundation of activism on which future generations can build.

“To deny political equality is to rob the ostracized of all self-respect; of credit in the market place; of recompense in the world of work; of a voice among those who make and administer the law; a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.” Elizabeth Cady Stanton, “Solitude of Self,” 1892
