Lucy Stone, shown in this daguerreotype taken between 1840 and 1850, graduated from Oberlin College in 1847, becoming a lecturer on women’s rights and a leader in the American Equal Rights Association together with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1869, she split with Anthony and Stanton, who opposed the 15th Amendment because it protected the voting rights of men but not women. Thirty years later, they reunited to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
