She was born in Adams, Massachusetts[?], the daughter of Quakers. Soon after her birth, the family moved to the state of New York, and after 1845 she lived in Rochester, New York.
She received her early education in a school her father ran for his and neighbors' children, and from the age of 17 to 32 she herself taught in various schools. In the decade preceding the outbreak of the American Civil War, she took a prominent part in the anti-slavery and temperance movements in New York, organizing in 1852 the first woman's state temperance society in America, and becoming in 1856 the agent for New York state of the American Anti-slavery Society[?].
After 1854 she devoted herself almost exclusively to the agitation for women's rights, and became recognized as one of the ablest and most zealous advocates of the complete legal equality of the two sexes, and as a public speaker and writer. From 1868 to 1870 she was the proprietor of a weekly paper, The Revolution, published in New York City, edited by Stanton, and having as its motto:
She was vice-president-at-large of the National Woman's Suffrage Association from the date of its organization in 1869 until 1892, when she became president.
For casting a vote in the presidential election, as she asserted the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution entitled her to do, she was arrested and fined $100, but she never paid the fine.
In collaboration with Stanton, Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, she published The History of Woman Suffrage (4 vols., New York, 1884-1887). She died at Rochester, New York, on March 13, 1906.
