Today’s Walking Classroom focuses on two famous women’s activists of the 1800’s, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Both women dedicated their entire lives to making sure that women had the same rights as men. Stanton and Anthony were responsible for initiating and running the Women’s Rights Movement, which eventually led to the 19th Amendment, which finally gave women the right to vote in 1920.
