Orator of the Women’s Suffrage Movement

To commemorate the upcoming hundredth anniversary of the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, Independent Women’s Forum will profile a leader of the fight for women’s suffrage each month ([link removed]) .

America’s suffrage leaders were women who recognized that the right to vote is essential to any meaningful form of citizenship. The 19^th Amendment was ratified August 18, 1920.

In 1921, a marble statue of suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott was unveiled in the U.S. Capitol, the gift of women’s organizations around the U.S.

In a way, there was a missing woman: Lucy Stone. ([link removed])

When these famous suffragists were in the thick of the battle for women’s suffrage, Stone was generally ranked with Stanton and Anthony as a triumvirate. Stone was a compelling and appealing speaker and hands down the leading orator of the women’s suffrage movement.

We detail Lucy Stone’s historic career and tell you why she didn’t make it into the Capitol Rotunda.

We hope you will enjoy our profiles as we prepare to celebrate the first hundred years of women voting.
