Middays at the Meeting House- I Now Pronounce You: Lucy Stone (1818-1893)

Meet Lucy Stone, the first woman from Massachusetts to earn a college degree and a lifelong supporter of human rights. As a scholar, Stone studied Greek and Hebrew and argued that the Holy Bible was mistranslated to oppress and objectify women. In her personal life, she demanded that her marriage vows be rewritten and refused to take her husband's surname, leading to the moniker "Lucy Stoner" for a woman who does just that. As a public speaker, Stone campaigned for equal rights for women and African-Americans, and inspired many women, including Susan B. Anthony, to join the suffrage movement. Listen and learn about this outspoken 19th-century "feminist-abolitionist," portrayed by critically acclaimed actress Judith Kalaora.
