Thesis:
Everyone has the right to let their voices
be heard. Lucy Stone was one of many
who was fighting to let the voices of women
be heard. Lucy Stone pushed women's
suffrage in a more radical direction, leading
to a larger and more unified movement.
"The notion has prevailed that it was only an ephemeral idea: that it was but women claiming the right to smoke cigars in the streets, and to frequent barrooms. Others have supposed it a question of comparative intellect; others still, of sphere. Too much has already been said and written about woman's sphere. Trace all the doctrines to their source and they will be found to have no basis except in the usages and prejudices of the age" (Stone).
