Lucy Stone Pioneer of Woman's Rights

Originally published in 1930, this biography of Lucy Stone presents a portrait of the woman, of the movements of which she was a part, and of her abolitionist and feminist ideology. It tells of her tours lecturing on behalf of women's rights, her efforts organizing the first national women's rights conference, and her association with other activists, including Susan B. Anthony, Julia Ward Howe, and Frederick Douglass. Blackwell was Stone's daughter and the editor of the suffragist Women's Journal. This edition contains an introductory essay by Randolf Hollingsworth (history and women's studies, Lexington Community College). c. Book News Inc.
