Two women, one allegiance. Together Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony fought for women everywhere, and their strong willpower and sheer determination still ripple through contemporary society. Ken Burns's Emmy Award-winning documentary recounts the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of two pioneers striving to give birth to the women's movement. Not until after their deaths was their shared vision of women's suffrage realized.
With its combination of actors reading the works of Stanton and Anthony, archival footage and photos, and commentary from historians, this documentary brings these two courageous and determined women to life. Not for Ourselves Alone highlights how their work continues to resonate with today's women's rights activists.
