She was the first women college graduate from Massachusetts, having graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio in 1847. She was also the wife of Henry Brown Blackwell and is the first known American woman to keep her own last name upon marriage. Stone worked with William Lloyd Garrison in the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts. During the Civil War, she helped found the Woman’s National Loyal League, fighting for full emancipation and voting rights for African-Americans. In 1870, Stone split with Susan B. Anthony and other suffragettes in 1870 by helping to organize the American Woman Suffrage Association, which advocated supporting the 15th Amendment (granting African-American male voting rights). That same year, Stone and her husband, with the help of Julia Ward Howe, founded The Woman’s Journal in Boston as the official publication of A.W.S.A. Three years prior to her death, Stone reconciled with Anthony, and the two rival organizations merged into the National American Woman Suffrage Association (N.A.W.S.A.). Stone’s daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell, edited The Woman’s Journal from 1883 until 1917.   To see a larger image and other great Election items, please visit us at http://www.sethkaller.net/catalogs/womens-rights/44-suffrage/472-watch-her-grow-suffrage-propaganda-from-the-womans-journal ABOUT THE SELLER For over 20 years, Seth Kaller has been the largest buyer of important and authentic historic documents.
