==Death and burial== [[File:Elizabeth Cady Stanton Monument 1024.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2|The monument for Henry Brewster Stanton and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in [[Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx|Woodlawn Cemetery]]. Her accomplishments are listed on another side of the monument.]] Stanton died in New York City on October 26, 1902, 18 years before women achieved the right to vote in the United States via the [[Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution]]. The medical report said the cause of death was heart failure. According to her daughter Harriet, she had developed breathing problems that had begun to interfere with her work. The day before she died, Stanton told her doctor, a woman, to give her something to speed her death if the problem could not be cured.<ref>Griffith, pp. 217β218</ref> Stanton had signed a document two years earlier directing that her brain was to be donated to [[Cornell University]] for scientific study after her death, but her wishes in that regard were not carried out.<ref>Ginzberg, pp. 185β186</ref> She was interred beside her husband in [[Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx|Woodlawn Cemetery]] in The [[Bronx]], New York City.<ref>Wilson, Scott.

Kindle Edition.</ref> After Stanton's death, Susan B. Anthony wrote to a friend: "Oh, this awful hush! It seems impossible that voice is stilled which I have loved to hear for fifty years. Always I have felt I must have Mrs. Stanton's opinion of things before I knew where I stood myself. I am all at sea."<ref>Harper (1898β1908), Vol. 3, [https://archive.org/stream/lifeandworksusa02harpgoog#page/n195/mode/2up p. 1264]</ref> Even after her death, foes of women's suffrage continued to use Stanton's more unorthodox statements to promote opposition to ratification of the [[Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Nineteenth Amendment]], which became law in 1920. Younger women in the suffrage movement responded by belittling Stanton and glorifying Anthony. In 1923, [[Alice Paul]], leader of the [[National Woman's Party]], introduced the proposed [[Equal Rights Amendment]] in Seneca Falls on the 75th anniversary of the [[Seneca Falls Convention]]. The planned ceremony and printed program made no mention of Stanton, the primary force behind the convention. One of the speakers was Stanton's daughter, [[Harriot Stanton Blatch]], who insisted on paying tribute to her mother's role.<ref>Griffith, p. xv</ref> Aside from a collection of her letters published by her children, no significant book about Stanton was written until a full-length biography was published in 1940 with the assistance of her daughter. Stanton began to regain recognition for her role in the women's rights movement with the rise of the new feminist movement in the 1960s and the establishment of academic women's history programs.<ref>DuBois, ''The Elizabeth Cady Stanton β Susan B. Anthony Reader'', pp. 191β192.
