Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Staton. These two were great friends and gave an average of 80 speeches on womens rights for 45 years. They also published a magazine supporting womens rights. Cady came up with the ideas and Susan wrote them down and gave most of the speeches. Many think that they were the perfect duo and that they completed each other.
