"The first national suffrage organizations were established in 1869 when two competing organizations were formed, one led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the other by Lucy Stone. After years of rivalry, they merged in 1890 as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) with Anthony as its leading force."

"These letters are warm from the heart, but they tell tales of injustice and wrong that chill the reader’s blood. They show a growing tendency among women to right their own wrongs, as women have ofttimes in ages before chosen their own ways to do."

"I wish I
could be present at your meeting but cannot. I believe that right and justice
demand that women should have a voice in the formation of law, and my desire is
for such a result." —Rachel Ross Austin, Vermillion.
