 Lucy
Stone was inspired to fight
for women's rights while still young,
when her father told her that women had
no need for a formal education. She gave
her first speech on women's rights in
1847, and spent much of the rest of her
life speaking and writing on behalf of
both woman suffrage and abolition. |
