Gout. Gouty arthritis usually strikes suddenly, with severe joint pain, swelling, warmth, and redness, often in the big toe (about 75% of cases). Gout causes a painful, swollen joint that's so severe that the weight of bed sheets can cause distress.
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were iconic leaders of the women's suffrage movement. The two women met in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1851 and quickly formed a friendship around suffragette activism.
However, the country was far from ready to take the issue of women's rights seriously, and the call for justice was the object of much ridicule. After the Civil War, Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Sojourner Truth fought in vain to have women included in new constitutional amendments giving rights to former slaves.
