Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton created this league to fight for the 13th amendment to abolish slavery and to stand up for full citizenship of women within any race. She fought for rights for racial prejudices and went through advertising her movement with speeches and meetings, and exploited it in the newspapers.
This influenced individuals for gender equality by taking charge of the disadvantages of women under any skin color and united the inequality with people of color and gender. -
Susan B. Anthony cofounded the American Equal Rights Association with Elizabeth Stanton. They created a publication in the newspaper called, The Revolution. This produced attention for equal rights for women to vote along-side with men. The Revolution progressed Anthony to make public speeches and raised money to support this movement.
This event influenced individuals to publicly promote gender equality by spreading the idea of women experiencing inequality by not having same rights as men. -
After the 15th amendment passed, it allowed African American men to vote. Anthony was not pleased that women were still not considered to vote so she then advocated for NWSA. NWSA was an organization who were more radical and focused on the entirety of women suffrage and fought for equal educational opportunities, obtain their own finances, able for divorce, and for voting.
This influence helped individuals see the inequality for women in life and within the society. -
Anthony was determined to advocate for equal hours and pay when employed. The Revolution assisted the uproar for educational opportunities trade schools, or workshops for the Sewing Machine Operator's Union and Typesetters' Union.
