THE REVOLUTION BEGINS
Two female protesters, ready for action
So it began! Anthony took charge, and Stanton followed right behind. Tens of people supporting became hundreds, hundreds became thousands, thousands became hundred thousands, and pretty soon it was a nationwide problem. Tons of protests took place, as well as conventions, meetings, gatherings, etc. The first women's rights convention Anthony and Stanton organized took place in Seneca Falls, New York. It was probably the most remembered organized event of all women's suffrage meetings. Not only did the two women travel the nation speaking to women, they started their very own newspaper called "The Revolution". The newspaper explained situations in which could help show people throughout the nation reasons for women's rights. It also included articles about marraige, education, buisness, and women's history. Susan never seemed to stop fighting for what she believed in. She took her movement to an extreme that turned heads all over the world. In 1872 she broke the law by voting illegally, consequently she was arrested and ordered to pay a fine of $100, yet Susan refused to pay. Along with all their successes, Elizabeth and Susan wrote three books about woman suffrage. They also organized a meeting in 1888 for women from Asia and Europe to join her and Elizabeth to spread the demand for justice worldwide.
