AB This dissertation examines the political activism and private life of two nineteenth centuryfeminist women: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. On the one hand, the focus of the dissertation is interpreting what was their role as abolitionists in the Anti-Slavery Movement of the United States and on the other hand, what were their private thoughts about topics such as marriage, religion or housekeeping. The information has been obtained by analysing several letters written by the two women, their own books and also documents by their relatives or near friends. It is known that thanks to their courage and strenght, women can vote and have many rights that were trangressed for them in the past. But, why did they decide to get involved in abolishing slavery and which factors influenced their personal lives helping to develop their mindsets?
