Chapter 40

INTRODUCTION:

Susan B. Anthony met Mrs. Stanton soon after this convention and though she had not been in sympathy with the "Declaration of Sentiments" she changed and was ever after a friend of women's suffrage. They started a weekly paper which they called "The Revolution."

The next act will be Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony talking about their paper.

MISS STANTON: We must let the people of the United States see that the only True Republic is this "Men their rights and nothing more--Women their rights and nothing less."

MISS ANTHONY: Yes, this is the only way for us to get our rights. We will organize a National Women's Suffrage Association.

MISS STANTON: We will go over the country to any state we are needed and talk to the people.

MISS ANTHONY: Yes, I will address Congress and I will cast a vote for the President. It is my right under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

_End of Act II._

Six speakers' names were converted to SMALL CAPS to match the style of the text; four cases of left-justified unattributed dialogue were indented (three cases of "Aye! Aye!" and one case of "No, tell us."); and parentheses were added around some stage directions to better differentiate them from dialogue.
