Stone, Lucy (1818-1893) American woman suffragist who lectured on women's rights and against slavery. She was the first woman from Massachusetts to graduate from college (Oberlin--a pioneering, co-educational college). She became a lecturer for the American Anti-slavery Society, and in 1850, organized a women's rights convention in Worcester, Mass. When Stone married Henry Blackwell (brother of Elizabeth Blackwell), she did not change her name, horrifying society; Stone and Blackwell founded and edited the American Woman Suffrage Association's weekly newspaper, Woman's Journal. Personal sampler of this remarkable woman, embroidered "Wrought by L. Stone--Aged 11 yrs," which establishes 1829 as the year it was created, 8 x 8 in., with large, upper-case alphabet and smaller upper and lower-case alphabet. A one-of-a-kind piece of history!
