From 1854 to 1860 both called for the reform of discriminatory laws of the State of New York, giving lectures and organizing a campaign to amend existing legislation. After the war, Anthony and Stanton believed that the primary objective of their struggle should be to achieve universal suffrage, so that in 1869 founded the National Woman Suffrage Association to get a constitutional amendment that would give women that right.

Between 1868 and 1870 Anthony and Stanton published a newspaper, Revolution, which denounced the injustices suffered by women. He traveled to Europe in 1883, and in 1888 participated in the creation of the International Assembly of Women, where 48 countries were represented. 80 years resigned the post of president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, but continued to participate regularly in their conventions until his death on March 13, 1906 in Rochester (New York).
