Lucy Stone
"In education, in marriage, in religion, in everything, disappointment is the lot of women. It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman's heart until she bows down to it no longer." Lucy Stone

(1818-1893)


The reason why I chose Lucy Stone is that she was to get rid of slavery and trying to let everyone be free. And that everyone has rights just some people have different things about them, but that doesn't mean they have no right to be free. She was also spoke for woman’s rights. She would speak on public rally and other things.

Facts In Brief

Birth Place: Born in West Brook field in 1818
Date Of Death: October 1893 at age 73

Lucy Stone grew up in a house and family were woman were thought to be useless. Lucy Stone at a young age told herself that she was not going to be a house wife. That she was going to be more then that and make it that mor woman could make there own pathway.

She graduated from Oberlin College which just ten years earlier as the first college in the nation to let in women. Lucy Stone became the first Massachusetts women to earn a college degree. Lucy found her life's work after attending the Woman's Right Convention in 1850. After college she became a lecturer for the anti-slaverly and to make rights for woman. In 1855, Lucy married Henry Browne Blackwell also a anti-slaverly and he also was with Lucy to get woman rights. Lucy and Henry had two children, a son that died shortly after birth and a daughter

There daughter Alice Stone Blackwell, who became well known in the women's suffrage movement as in her own right. He was known as the only man who was trying to get rights for woman. Lucy would travel the country talking and giveing speaches for womans rights. Lucy Stone always drew very large croweds. She made a speach that changed Susan B. over to fight for womans rights also. Lucy organized the American Woman Suffrage Association, a more moderate wing of the movement, and together she and Blackwell founded and edited the organization's weekly newspaper, The Woman's Journal. Lucy Stone spent her lifetime battling to get womenÕs rights back, and inspiring others to join her cause.

Lucy Stone I think had a big impacted on the fight for Rights To Woman and to fight to get ride of Slaverly. If she wouldn't have tryed to get rights, then who would of of if anyone would of thats the mane question.
