Description

Speaking up can make a difference.

When Lucy Stone was born in 1818, women could not vote, work the same jobs as men, or even go to college. Women did not have a say in government. But Lucy was determined. In a hidden cabin in the woods, she found her voice in a secret women's debate club, and she used it to speak up in front of thousands of people, devoting her life to women's equality.

Told through Lucy's powerful voice, Lucy Stone Speaks Up celebrates not only her life but the work of other people who fought for what was right. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, and more are included in this inspiring account of women finally getting the vote.
