What she uncovered though, was that men had an advantage and special privileges over women for no apparent reason, like, whatsoever. And this totally did not fly for her. In the moment of time she was born into, women had no voting rights, barely any rights over their bodies, were paid significantly less than their male counterparts, and on top of it all had to wear long dresses layered with petticoats practically everywhere and in any season. Anyone else feel icky just thinking about it? Our heroine’s story picks up at the age of 16 when she began teaching in district schools. She noticed the major pay gap between her and the men who taught the same material and voiced a huge “nope” to the committee. She was met with a “too bad” and a shrug. Now that her blood was really boiling, let’s move on to her days in college, because yes, our girl was motivated to be heard. She started a debate club with a few of her gal pals and guess what—when she debated a guy from a newspaper over the topic of women’s rights, she totally blew him out of the water. *You go girl!* This led to her confidence to take on the government and demand that women have more rights starting with voting. You can thank her and her hard work for many of the rights we enjoy today as women. Stone is remembered for being a powerful public speaker, an abolitionist, and suffragist. But truth be told she had her hand in so many more things that we didn’t even scratch the surface of (like her role in dress reform because she was totally over having to wear dresses every day and her work in roles within a marriage). *swooning times a thousand* Fun fact: Lucy never took the last name of her husband Henry Blackwell because she felt doing so erased her of her own identity. (Henry was in full support of course. We love seeing a man who backs his woman like he did). How to Clean a Nylon Bag: Spot clean with warm water, gentle soap and a soft, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
