They became fast friends and traversed the country together giving speeches and trying to persuade the government that men and women should be treated equally. She and Frederick Douglass were good friends, but they butted heads over the issue of equal rights – he believed in granting suffrage to black men but not women. She was arrested for illegally voting in the 1872 presidential election. She never did pay the fine. Anthony and Stanton founded the National Women’s Suffrage Association (1869) . Anthony was vice president at large until 1892 when she became its president. Susan B. Anthony died of heart disease in 1906. She was 86.

I have a Lionel Pennsylvania Flyer 6-30018... ?
I lost my smoke juice and it's $6 for a new bottle, I heard it's possible to substitute it with cooking oil until I buy it. Is this true?
Don't use cooking oil-the unit doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to vaporize it. You'll kill the smoke unit, and end up having to replace the whole thing(since the Pennsy Flyer has a sealed smoke unit that you can't open and clean out). If you've already done this, a new smoke unit isn't but $15 and easy to swap.
There really isn't an acceptable substitute for the proper smoke fluid. Some folks claim that you can use lamp oil, but this really is a horrible idea and can cause serious problems(flames shooting out of the smoke stack serious).
I don't know if Lionel's started adding smoke off switches to this particular engine(my 15 year old one doesn't have one), but if they have, I'd suggest turning the smoke unit off until you get more fluid.
If you don't have a smoke off switch, you can easily temporarily disconnect the smoke. There are two screws which hold the valve guides and front truck in place. There should be a wire under one of these screws. Loosen the screw, disconnect the wire, and tape it off. This will also keep the headlight from working, however.
