In this docudrama, based upon court transcripts, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are interviewed on their lives and friendship. These two women were dedicated to their beliefs, and endured years of scorn and public ridicule for the efforts to achieve equal rights and suffrage for women. This program traces the history of Anthony and Stanton's activism and personal relationship through dramatic re-enactments and readings of personal correspondence and lectures. Susan B. Anthony is portrayed by Padraigin McGillicuddy, Judge Hunt by Gail Chugg, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Dorothy Gilbert. Produced by Joanna Brouk.
