2. I Now Pronounce You Lucy Stone™ (HAP ‘n CHAT Event!)

Challenging discrimination is never easy and Lucy Stone is never one to take the easy road. The first woman from Massachusetts to earn a college degree, Lucy defies every obstacle and is an ardent supporter of human rights. Always fierce, her belief that women and men be equal is evident in both her political and personal endeavors. Her message inspired thousands of women to join the suffrage movement; Susan B. Anthony credits Lucy's impassioned speeches for her involvement.

As a scholar, Lucy intensely studied Greek and Hebrew and vehemently insists that the Bible has been mistranslated to oppress women. There is no way Lucy will settle for second best, not even in marriage! She and husband Henry Browne Blackwell created a marriage protest read in place of their traditional vows and Lucy refused to take her husband's surname, leading to the moniker of "Lucy Stoner" to describe one who does just that!

In this fiery presentation, Lucy describes the tension of Antebellum America. Her discussion touches on revolutionary ideals and encompasses the fierce abolitionist movement. Women were evolving from successful abolitionists to struggling suffragists! Their fight was ferocious! Come along for the ride!

Kalaora is skilled at delving into the personal details, the joys and disappointments that help make the story of Stone compelling and bring it to vivid life. - Rich Fahey, On Boston StagesSuitable for all ages.
