A leading suffragist and abolitionist, Lucy Stone dedicated her life to battling inequality on all fronts. She was the first Massachusetts woman to earn a college degree and she defied gender norms when she famously wrote marriage vows to reflect her egalitarian beliefs and refused to take her husband's last name. Antoinette Brown Blackwell was the first woman to be ordained a minister of a recognized denomination in the United States. Brown was active in many reform movements, particularly those for abolition, temperance, and women's rights. Despite her considerable achievements and her status as an accredited delegate, she was barred from addressing the World's Temperance Convention in New York in 1853 on grounds of her sex. Her changing religious convictions led her to resign her pastorate in July 1854, and shortly thereafter she became a Unitarian minister and served a church in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
