In-Depth Sources Response

As I continued to research about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, I continued to think about what motivated them to becoming lecturers about woman's suffrage and the key reasons they decided to leave their jobs to start conventions. I went onto Elibrary to research the two women and found a couple nice articles that described what their background was- what type of family they were raised in, and what their religions were. I found out that Anthony was raised with unconventional views about women because her father was grew up with a Quacker background. Anthony was a school teacher before she realized her calling was to be a lecturer about Woman Suffrage. She was not married, but loved the life she lived. Stanton, however, was presbyterian and attracted to reform causes. After traveling to several convention, Elizabeth Stanton met the man she would  be able to call her husband in 1840. After just recently getting married, Stanton traveled to London to the world's Anti-Slavery Convention around the 1840's. All of the information I have gathered about the two women help me piece together why and how they became so iconic.
