Join us to hear author Katherine Sherbooke tell the remarkable story of Lucy Stone (1818-1893), a Victorian woman who outraged her contemporaries—and helped change the course of women’s history. In a period when it was legal for men to beat their wives, and scandalous for women to speak in public, Stone stood up and spoke out. Boldly defying one convention after another, she attended college, lectured to mixed audiences against slavery, refused to take her husband’s name, and even removed the word “obey” from her marriage vows.

Join us for a fascinating talk—and bring your questions for a live Q&A session with the author. This event will be a live-streamed talk from the Sargent House Museum in Gloucester, MA, the 18th-century home of Judith Sargent, one of America’s earliest proponents of women’s rights.

The event is free but registration is required; Donations are encouraged.
