A key 19th century suffrage figure as well as abolitionist, Lucy Stone broke with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony after the Civil War over the issue of black male suffrage; her husband Henry Blackwell was a co-worker for women's suffrage. Lucy Stone was considered a suffrage radical in her youth, a conservative in her older years.
