Today we remember Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who founded the National Woman Suffrage Association on this day in 1881. It was during this era that Alva Vanderbilt Belmont was also very active in the suffrage movement. She was the most important financial benefactor among the leaders of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage (CU) and its successor organization, the National Woman's Party (NWP). Her 1895 divorce from William Vanderbilt, the grandson of mogul Cornelius Vanderbilt, brought her a personal fortune, along with Marble House, the Vanderbilt summer mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.
