Description: "Alice Stone Blackwell, editor of the suffragist Woman's Journal, published this biography of her mother, Lucy Stone, in 1930, a decade after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. Reprinted now for the first time in thirty years, Lucy Stone: Pioneer of Woman's Rights is a fascinating, plainspoken document of an important era in women's history that provides a vivid, unsentimental portrait of a life dedicated to advocacy for civil rights.".

"Often facing hostile audiences, Stone lectured all over the country, and she led the call for the first national woman's rights convention, which took place in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1850. She brought other leaders - Susan B. Anthony and Julia Ward Howe among them - to the cause, and attended antislavery conferences with Frederick Douglass. The reissue of Blackwell's biography recognizes the significant influence of Stone's activism upon abolitionist and feminist reform ideology."--BOOK JACKET.
