Lucy Stone
Abolitionist and popular feminist lecturer Lucy Stone led the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). For years it was larger and more successful than Stanton and Anthony's National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Stone also founded and published the Woman's Journal, the leading periodical of the suffrage movement. In 1890 Stone merged AWSA with Stanton and Anthony's National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) to create NAWSA. Ill health prevented Stone from playing an active role in the new organization and Anthony minimized her contributions in The History of Woman Suffrage. |
