Miniseries

07 Nov, 1999

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were born into a world ruled entirely by men and for more than half a century led the fight to win the most basic civil rights for women. Their story is filled with love and loyalty, envy and betrayal, and raises larger questions of principal and compromise, achievement and ends, and the meaning of independence itself. Their more than half-century struggle led to the passage of the 19th Amendment to the constitution in 1920, which finally granted American women the right to vote. Neither woman lived to see this great victory, but Stanton and Anthony stand as the two most important women in American history.
