More from Lucy Stone

Lucy StoneLucy Stone Leave women to find their sphere.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone The widening of woman’s sphere is to improve her lot. Let us do it, and if the world scoff, let it scoff if it sneer, let it sneer.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone I know not what you believe of God, but I believe He gave yearnings and longings to be filled, and that He did not mean all our time should be devoted to feeding and clothing the body
Lucy StoneLucy Stone Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things.
