Lucy Stone married Henry Brown Blackwell but kept her last name, something that was never done before. She studied at Oberlin College, becoming the first woman to earn a Bachelor's degree in Massachusetts. She founded the Women's National Loyal League with the purpose of emancipating the slaves. She also founded the American Equal Rights Association, with members supporting both women's rights and abolition. Her speeches made her an in-demand lecturer.
