I Now Pronounce You Lucy StoneDate: Thursday, March 7th at 6:30 p.m.Location: Meeting RoomDescription: Join us for a fascinating historical reenactment by Judith Kalaora of History at Play about a little-known figure in local and women’s history. The first Massachusetts woman to earn a college degree, Lucy Stone was an ardent supporter of human rights. Her belief that women and men be equal was evident in both her political and personal endeavors. Her message inspired thousands to join the suffrage movement; even Susan B. Anthony credited Lucy’s impassioned speeches for her involvement. Lucy refused to take her husband’s name, leading to the moniker of “Lucy Stoner” to describe a woman who does just that. In this fiery presentation Lucy describes the tension of Antebellum Boston, touching on the gender caste system and the fierce abolitionist movement. Women were evolving from successful abolitionists to struggling suffragists. Their fight was ferocious, so come along for the ride! Registration required? No
