Lucy Stone
The Voice Unshackled, Keeping Her Own Name
I kept my name, and I'll keep my voice.
Born to a farming family in Massachusetts, I saw injustice early — in the fields, in the law, and in the home. I paid my own way through Oberlin with grit and chalk dust, and I've been speaking truth since. I refused to surrender my name, my voice, or my convictions. I fight not for a throne, but for the right of every woman to stand on her own feet. The ballot is vital, yes — but first, a woman must cast the vote to be herself.
What I'm Into: railway journeys between rallies, ink-stained pamphlets, protest weddings, state-by-state suffrage, a woman's own name
