Answer
The passage discusses the various women who fought for the right to vote and how they differed in their approaches. For example, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were more radical in their approach, advocating for a more confrontational approach to achieving suffrage. On the other hand, Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe were more moderate in their approach, advocating for a more gradual approach to achieving suffrage. Despite their differences in approach, all of the women were connected in their shared goal of achieving suffrage. They all worked together to form the National Woman Suffrage Association, which was dedicated to the cause of women's suffrage. Additionally, they all worked together to organize conventions and rallies to spread awareness of the cause. Furthermore, they all wrote and published articles and pamphlets to further their cause. In this way, the women were connected in their shared goal of achieving suffrage, even if they had different approaches to achieving it.
