Susan B. Anthony, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Parker Pillsbury, began a newspaper called The Revolution. The paper’s masthead boldly declared, “Men Their Rights and Nothing More, Women their Rights and Nothing Less.”
Many articles in The Revolution argued that women, black and white, should be treated equally to men, but some also denounced giving uneducated black and Irish men the right to vote when educated women could not. The Woman’s Suffrage movement split in half, one side supporting black male suffrage first, the other led by Anthony and Stanton, called for universal suffrage immediately.
