This journey proved beneficial for several reasons. First and foremost, the trip benefited their cause as it took the issue of women's rights out of isolated meetings and brought it directly to the American people. People living in rural areas of Kansas, for example, were previously isolated from the issues such as women's rights discussed in the larger cities. By speaking at small farms, halls and churches Cady Stanton and Anthony brought their campaign directly to the people, and in doing so opened the people's eyes.

Previously unable to receive ample backing Stanton and Anthony were now able to openly express their views through the written word, and deliver their message advocating women's rights to cities across the country. Through their articles the two were able to express proposed action, and influenced several women's rights groups which were cropping up across the nation during that time. .
