Lyusi Stoun (1818 yil 13 avgust - 1893 yil 18 oktyabr) taniqli AQSh edi. notiq, bekor qiluvchi va huquqshunos va vokal targ'ibotchisi va tashkilotchisi ayollar huquqlari.^[1] 1847 yilda Stoun Massachusets shtatidan kollej diplomini olgan birinchi ayol bo'ldi. U xotin-qizlar tushkunlikka tushib, omma oldida so'zlashdan saqlanayotgan bir paytda u ayollarning huquqlari va qullikka qarshi chiqdi. Stone keyin tug'ilgan ismidan foydalanganligi bilan tanilgan nikoh, ayollarning erining familiyasini olish odati.

Stounning ayollar huquqlari yo'lidagi tashkiliy faoliyati XIX asrning qiyin siyosiy muhitida sezilarli yutuqlarga erishdi. Tosh birinchisini boshlashga yordam berdi Ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha milliy konventsiya Massachusets shtatidagi Vorester shahrida^[2] va u har yili bir qator boshqa mahalliy, davlat va mintaqaviy faollarning anjumanlari bilan bir qatorda uni qo'llab-quvvatladi va qo'llab-quvvatladi. Stoun bir qator qonun chiqaruvchi organlar oldida ayollarga ko'proq huquqlar beradigan qonunlarni ilgari surish uchun nutq so'zladi. U tashkil etishga yordam berdi Ayollarning milliy sodiq ligasi o'tishga yordam berish O'n uchinchi tuzatish va shu bilan qullikni bekor qildi, shundan keyin u shakllanishiga yordam berdi Amerikalik ayollarning saylov huquqlari assotsiatsiyasi (AWSA), ayollarga saylov huquqini davlat va mahalliy darajada yutib chiqib, Konstitutsiya tuzatishlarini qo'llab-quvvatlashni tashkil etdi.

Stoun ayollarning turli xil huquqlari, o'zi va boshqalarning nutqlarini nashr etish va tarqatish hamda konvensiya ishlari to'g'risida keng yozgan. Uzoq muddatli va ta'sirchan^[3] Ayollar jurnali O'zi asos solgan va targ'ib qilgan haftalik davriy nashr, Stoun ayollar huquqlari to'g'risida o'zining ham, har xil qarashlarini ham efirga uzatdi. "Notiq" deb nomlangan,^[4] "tong yulduzi"^[5] va "yurak va qalb"^[6] Stoun ayollar huquqlarini himoya qilish harakati ta'sir ko'rsatdi Syuzan B. Entoni ayollarning saylov huquqi sababini ko'rib chiqish.^[7] Elizabeth Cady Stanton deb yozgan edi: "Lyusi Stoun Amerika jamoatchiligi yuragi chuqur aralashgan birinchi odam edi ayol savol."^[8] Entoni, Stanton va Stoun birgalikda 19-asr deb nomlangan "triumvirate "ayollarning saylov huquqi va feminizm.^[9][10]

Dastlabki hayot va ta'sirlar

Lyusi Stoun 1818 yil 13-avgustda Massachusets shtatining G'arbiy Brukfilddagi Koy tepaligidagi oilasining fermasida tug'ilgan. U Xanna Metyuz va Frensis Stoundan tug'ilgan to'qqiz farzandning sakkizinchisi edi; u uchta aka-uka va uchta opa-singil bilan o'sgan, ikkita birodarlari tug'ilishidan oldin vafot etgan. Stone oilasining yana bir a'zosi - Sara Barr, "Salli xola", bolalarga - eri tashlab ketgan va akasiga qaram bo'lib qolgan Frensis Stounning singlisi. Fermerlik hayoti hamma uchun mashaqqatli ish bo'lgan va Frensis Stoun oilaviy resurslarni qattiq boshqargan bo'lsa-da, Lyusi bolaligini "boylik" dan esladi, ferma oilasi xohlagan barcha oziq-ovqat mahsulotlarini ishlab chiqarardi va do'konda sotib olingan oz sonli mollar bilan savdo qilish uchun etarli qo'shimcha mahsulot. kerak.^[11]

Stoun "Bizning oilamizda bitta iroda bor edi, bu mening otam edi", deb eslaganda, u o'z davridagi oilaviy boshqaruvni tasvirlab berdi. Xanna Stoun tuxum va pishloq sotish orqali mo''tadil daromad oldi, ammo bu pul ustidan nazoratni rad etishdi, ba'zida Frensisni ahamiyatsiz deb hisoblagan narsalarni sotib olish uchun pul berishdan bosh tortishdi. O'z daromadiga haqli ekanligiga ishongan Xanna ba'zan sumkasidan tangalarni o'g'irlab yoki yashirincha pishloq sotgan. Bolaligida, Lyusi otasining oilaviy pulni adolatsiz boshqarishi deb hisoblagan holatlardan norozi edi. Ammo keyinchalik u urf-odat aybdor ekanligini angladi va adolatsizlik faqatgina "odat tusiga kirishi kerak bo'lsa, odatlarni to'g'rilash zarurligini" namoyish etdi.^[12]

Tosh onasi Salli xola va eri tomonidan e'tiborsiz qoldirilgan va qashshoq qolgan qo'shnisi misollaridan Tosh erta bilganki, ayollar erlarining xayrixohligida. Injilda "sizning xohishingiz eringizga bo'ladi va u sizga hukmronlik qiladi" degan so'zni uchratganida, u ayollarni bo'ysundirish haqidagi ilohiy sanksiya kabi tuyulganidan bezovtalangan, ammo keyin bu buyruq faqat xotinlarga tegishli deb o'ylagan. . "Hech kimni mening xo'jayinim demang" degan qarorga kelib, u hech qachon uylanmaslik, iloji boricha yuqori ma'lumot olish va o'z pullarini topish orqali o'z hayotini nazorat qilishni davom ettirishga qaror qildi.^[13]

Uning tarjimai holi Andrea Mur Kerr shunday deb yozadi: "Stounning shaxsiyati hayratlanarli edi: uning boshqalarning xatti-harakatlari uchun javobgarlikni o'z zimmasiga olishga shubhasiz tayyorligi;" ishchan "odatlari; o'ziga shubha bilan qarash; boshqaruvni xohlashi."^[14]

"Ayolning maoshi" bo'yicha o'qitish

16 yoshida Stoun ukalari va singlisi Roda singari tuman maktablarida dars berishni boshladi. Uning boshlang'ich maoshi kuniga $ 1.00 erkak o'qituvchilarnikiga qaraganda ancha past edi va u qishdayoq ukasi Bowmanni almashtirganda, u olgandan kam ish haqi oldi. U maktab qo'mitasiga Bowman o'qigan barcha fanlardan dars berganiga norozilik bildirganda, ular unga "faqat ayolning maoshi" ni berishlari mumkin, deb javob berishdi. Ayollarga ish haqining pastligi ayollarni o'qituvchi sifatida yollashni targ'ib qilayotganlar keltirgan dalillardan biri edi: "Ta'limni umuminsoniy qilish uchun bu o'rtacha xarajatlarga ega bo'lishi kerak va ayollar ish haqining bir yarimiga, hatto undan kamroqiga o'qitishga qodir. erkaklar so'ragan ".^[15] Stounning maoshi maktablari bilan birga ko'paygan bo'lsa ham, u oxiriga kelib oyiga 16 dollar olguncha, bu har doim erkaklarnikidan past edi.^[16]

"Ayol savol"

1836 yilda Stoun Massachusets shtati bo'ylab avj olgan mojaro haqidagi gazetadagi xabarlarni o'qiy boshladi, ba'zilari "ayol savoli" - ayolning jamiyatdagi munosib o'rni qanday; u kun islohotlari harakatlarida faol va jamoat rolini bajarishi kerakmi? Keyingi bir necha yil ichida ushbu qarama-qarshiliklar ichidagi o'zgarishlar uning rivojlanib borayotgan ayol huquqlari falsafasini shakllantirdi.^[17]

Ayollar siyosiy ovozga egami yoki yo'qmi degan munozaralar ko'plab ayollar bunga javob berganida boshlandi Uilyam Lloyd Garrison Qullikka qarshi petitsiyalarni tarqatish bo'yicha murojaat va Kongressga minglab imzolarni faqat ularni rad etish uchun yubordi, qisman ayollar ularni yuborganligi sababli. Abolitsiyachilar, bunga javoban Nyu-York shahrida o'z arizalarini yozish bo'yicha konventsiyani o'tkazdilar va "ba'zi huquqlar va burchlar barcha axloqiy mavjudotlar uchun umumiy bo'lganligi sababli", ular endi "buzuq urf-odatlar va buzuq ariza" bilan belgilangan chegaralarda qolmasliklarini e'lon qilishdi. Muqaddas Bitik. " Opa-singillar Anjelina va Sara Grimke ma'qul kelishi mumkin bo'lganidek, faqat ayollar guruhlari o'rniga, erkaklar va ayollar auditoriyalari bilan gaplasha boshlagach, jamoat vazirlarining shtat konvensiyasi pastoral maktub chiqarib, ayollarning "insonning o'rnini jamoat islohotchisi" deb tan olgani va "jamoat ma'ruzachilari va o'qituvchilari xarakteridagi yo'nalish." Stoun anjumanga tomoshabin sifatida tashrif buyurgan va u bu maktubdan shunchalik g'azablanganki, u "agar [agar menda [agar] jamoat oldida aytadigan biron bir gapim bo'lsa, [men] buni aytaman va bundan ham ko'proq o'sha cho'ponlik maktubi tufayli" degan qarorga kelgan.^[18]

Tosh o'qidi Sara Grimke "Ayollar viloyatiga oid maktublar" (keyinchalik "Jinslarning tengligi to'g'risida maktublar" deb qayta nashr qilingan) va birodarga ular faqat "hech kimni xo'jayin deb atamaslik uchun" qarorini kuchaytirganligini aytdi. U kollej insholarini yozishda va keyinchalik ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha ma'ruzalarida ushbu "Xatlar" dan olingan.^[19]

Qo'lidan kelgancha eng yuqori ma'lumotni olishga qaror qilib, Stoun ro'yxatdan o'tdi Holyoke tog'i 1839 yilda, 21 yoshida ayollar seminariyasi. Ammo u Meri Lyonsning qullikka va ayollarning huquqlariga toqat qilmasligidan shu qadar hafsalasi pir bo'lganki, u faqat bir muddatdan so'ng o'z faoliyatini tark etdi. Keyingi oy u Ueslian akademiyasiga o'qishga kirdi (keyinchalik Wilbraham & Monson Academy),^[20] u unga ko'proq yoqqan narsani topdi: "Bu bizning adabiy jamiyatda ko'pchilik ovoz bilan qaror qilingan edi, - dedi u birodarga" xonimlar siyosat bilan aralashishi, Kongressga borishi va hokazo. " Stoun Konnektikutdagi qullikka qarshi yig'ilish qanday qilib so'zlashish yoki ovoz berish huquqidan mahrum bo'lganligi haqidagi gazetani o'qidi Ebbi Kelli, yaqinda ushbu shtatda ishlash uchun qullikka qarshi vosita sifatida yollangan. O'z huquqidan voz kechishdan bosh tortgan Kelley har safar ovoz berilayotganda jasorat bilan qo'lini ko'targan edi. "Men Ebbi Kning xotirjamligi va olijanobligiga qoyil qoldim, - deb yozdi Stoun birodarga, - qarindosh ruhlar ko'p bo'lishini istamasligim kerak".^[21]

Uch yil o'tgach, Stoun Kelleydan o'rnak oldi. 1843 yilda Deacon o'zining qullikka qarshi faoliyati uchun Stoun cherkovidan quvib chiqarildi, shu qatorda Kelleyni o'z uyida mehmon qilish va uni yaqin atrofda o'qigan ma'ruzalariga haydash orqali qo'llab-quvvatladi. Chetlatish uchun birinchi ovoz berilganda, tosh uni himoya qilish uchun qo'lini ko'tardi. Vazir, agar u cherkov a'zosi bo'lsa-da, u ovoz beruvchi a'zosi emasligini aytib, uning ovozini chegirdi. Kelli singari, u o'jarlik bilan qolgan beshta ovozning har biri uchun qo'lini ko'tardi.^[22]

1841 yil yozida Monson akademiyasida tahsil olgan bir yilni tugatgach, Stoun Ogayo shtatidagi Oberlin kollej instituti mamlakatdagi ayollarni qabul qilgan birinchi kollejga aylanganini va uchta ayolga kollej darajalarini berganini bilib oldi. Tosh qo'shni Uorrenning Quaboag seminariyasiga o'qishga kirdi, u erda Virjil va Sofoklni o'qidi va Oberlin kirish imtihonlariga tayyorgarlik ko'rish uchun lotin va yunon grammatikasini o'rgandi.^[23]

Oberlin

1843 yil avgustda, 25 yoshga to'lganidan so'ng, tosh poezd, paroxod va stagekoach bilan sayohat qildi Oberlin kolleji Ogayo shtatida, ayollarni ham qabul qilgan mamlakatdagi birinchi kollej Afroamerikaliklar. U kollejga xotin-qizlar ovoz berishi va siyosiy lavozimni egallashi, ayollar mumtoz kasblarni o'rganishi va ayollar o'zlarining fikrlarini jamoat forumida gapira olishlari kerakligiga ishongan. Oberlin kolleji ushbu fikrlarning barchasini baham ko'rmadi.^[24]

Oberlinda uchinchi yilida Stoun do'stlashdi Antuanetta Braun, 1845 yilda vazir bo'lish uchun o'qish uchun Oberlinga kelgan abolitsionist va sufragist.^[25] Stoun va Braun oxir-oqibat abolitsiyani bekor qilgan birodarlarga uylanishadi va shu tariqa kelin bo'ladilar.

Ish haqi bo'yicha teng ish tashlash

Stoun kollej xarajatlarining katta qismini institut quyi bo'limlaridan birida o'qitish orqali topishga umid qildi. Ammo birinchi kurs talabalarini o'qituvchi sifatida ishlashga qarshi siyosati tufayli, tosh qishki ta'tilda tuman maktablarida o'qituvchilikdan boshqa ish topa olmadi, bu maktabning qo'l mehnati dasturi orqali uy yumushlari edi. Buning uchun unga soatiga uch sentdan maosh to'langan - bu dasturda ishlagan erkak talabalar olgan maoshning yarmidan kami. Xarajatlarni kamaytirish bo'yicha ko'rilgan choralar qatorida Stoun yotoqxonasida o'z ovqatini tayyorladi. 1844 yilda Stounga xonimlar bo'limida arifmetikani o'rgatadigan lavozim berildi, ammo u yana jinsi tufayli ish haqi kamaytirildi.

Oberlinning tovon puli siyosati Stondan talaba erkak talaba qilgan xarajatlarni ikki barobar ko'proq to'lashi kerak edi. Stone ish va o'qishga moslashish uchun soat ikkida tez-tez ko'tarilib, sog'lig'i yomonlashayotganini sezdi. 1845 yil fevralda, adolatsizlikka boshqa bo'ysunmaslikka qaror qilib, u fakultet kengashidan unchalik tajribali bo'lmagan ikki erkak hamkasbiga berilgan maoshni so'radi. Uning iltimosi rad etilganda, u o'z lavozimini tark etdi. Toshni qayta tiklash uchun fakultetdan iltimos qilib, uning sobiq talabalari Stounga kollej bermasa, "nima to'g'ri bo'lsa" to'lashini aytdi. Ston mablag 'tugagach, otasidan qarz olishni rejalashtirgan edi, ammo Frensis Stoun qizining kurashlari haqidagi tavsifidan ta'sirlanib, kerak bo'lganda pul berishga va'da berdi. Ammo uydan yordam kerak emas edi, chunki uch oylik bosimdan so'ng fakultet toshni qaytarib oldi va unga ham, boshqa ayol talaba o'qituvchilarga ham bir xil pullik talaba o'qituvchilarga to'lab berdi.^[26]

Ommaviy nutq

1881 yil Lyusi Stounning portreti

1846 yil fevralda Stoun Ebbi Kelli Foster bilan notiq bo'lishni o'ylayotgani haqida gapirdi,^[27] ammo keyingi yozga qadar Fosterning Oberlindagi nutqi tufayli tortishuvlar bo'roni uning uchun qaror qildi. Fosterga qarshi bo'lgan professor-o'qituvchilar talabalar o'rtasida ayollar huquqlari, ayniqsa ayollarning jamoat oldida so'zlash huquqi haqida shafqatsiz munozarani qo'zg'atdi, bu tosh erkaklar va ayollar adabiy jamiyatlarining qo'shma yig'ilishida qattiq himoya qilindi. U Oberlinning 1 avgust kuni G'arbiy Hindistondagi ozodlikni yodga olish marosimida o'zining birinchi ommaviy nutqini so'zlab, ushbu talabalar shaharchasi namoyishini kuzatdi.^[28]

1846 yilning kuzida Stoun oilasiga ayol huquqlari bo'yicha o'qituvchi bo'lish niyati haqida xabar berdi. Uning ukalari birdan qo'llab-quvvatladilar, otasi uni o'z vazifasi deb bilgan ishni bajarishga undadi, ammo onasi va qolgan singlisi uni qayta ko'rib chiqishni iltimos qildi. Onasining uni haqorat qilishidan qo'rqishidan, Stoun o'zini hurmat qilishini va hatto undan nafratlanishini bilishini aytdi, lekin u "men uchun dunyodagi eng yuqori yaxshilikni targ'ib qilish uchun eng yaxshi hisoblangan xatti-harakatni davom ettirishini" aytdi.^[29]

Keyin tosh amaliy nutq tajribasini olishga harakat qildi. Garchi talaba ayollar o'zlarining adabiy jamiyatlarida bir-birlari bilan bahslasha olsalar ham, ularning erkaklar bilan og'zaki mashqlarda qatnashishlari noo'rin deb hisoblangan; kollegial ritorika sinfining ayol a'zolari erkak sinfdoshlarini kuzatib o'rganishlari kerak edi. Shunday qilib Tosh va birinchi kurs talabasi Antuanetta Braun jamoat oldida nutq so'zlashda mahoratini oshirishni istagan, kampusdan tashqari ayollarning debat klubini tashkil qilgan. Bir daraja malakaga ega bo'lgach, ular Stoning ritorika darsidan oldin bir-birlari bilan bahslashish uchun izlashdi va ruxsat olishdi. Debat ko'plab talaba auditoriyasini hamda fakultet kengashining e'tiborini tortdi, shu sababli xotin-qizlarning og'zaki mashg'ulotlarini birlashma darslarida rasmiy ravishda taqiqladilar.^[30] Ko'p o'tmay, Stoun tuman gazetasining sobiq muharriri tomonidan xotin-qizlar huquqlari bo'yicha jamoatchilik muhokamasiga da'vogarlikni qabul qildi va u uni qattiq mag'lub etdi.^[31] Keyin u fakultet kengashiga bitiruv sinfining aksariyat a'zolari tomonidan imzolangan iltimosnoma bilan murojaat qilib, bitiruv insholarini yozishni tanlagan ayollarga o'qituvchilar tomonidan o'qib berilish o'rniga, o'zlari o'qishga ruxsat berishlarini so'rashdi. Fakultet kengashi rad etgach va Stoun insho yozish uchun saylanganida, u ayollarni "ularning qobiliyatlari ularga mos keladigan har qanday sohada erkaklar bilan birga ishlash imtiyozi" ni rad etgan printsipni qo'llab-quvvatlay olmasligini aytib, rad etdi.^[32]

Stone 1847 yil 25-avgustda Oberlin kollejida bakalavr darajasini oldi va Massachusets shtatidagi birinchi ayol kollej bitiruvchisi bo'ldi.

Qullikka qarshi shogirdlik

Lucy Stone yosh ayol sifatida

Stoun 1847 yilning kuzida birinchi marta ayollarning huquqlari bo'yicha jamoat oldida nutq so'zladi, avval ukasi Bowmanning cherkovida Gardner, Massachusets va birozdan keyin qo'shni Uorren.^[33] Stoun ma'ruza agentiga aylandi Massachusets shtatidagi qullikka qarshi jamiyat 1848 yil iyun oyida, Ebbi Kelli Foster tomonidan ushbu tajriba unga nutq amaliyotini berishiga ishontirdi, chunki u ayol huquqlarini himoya qilish kampaniyasini boshlashdan oldin o'zini hali ham zarur deb bildi.^[34] Stoun zudlik bilan o'zini yaxshi ma'ruzachi sifatida ko'rsatdi va tinglovchilari ustidan g'ayrioddiy kuchga ega ekanligi haqida xabar berdi. U "muloyim qiyofali Quakerish tanasi, eng shirin, kamtarona odob-axloqli va shu bilan birga yuklangan zambarak singari egiluvchan va o'ziga yaroqsiz" deb ta'riflangan. Uning aktivlaridan biri, hikoya qilish qobiliyatidan tashqari, tinglovchilarni xohlaganicha ko'z yoshlari yoki kulgiga solishi mumkin edi, bu zamondoshlar "kumush qo'ng'iroq" bilan taqqoslaganda g'ayrioddiy ovoz edi va u "endi yo'q" deb aytilgan. hech qachon karnayga mukammal asbob sovg'a qilingan edi. "^[35]

Toshga notiq sifatida rivojlanishda yordam berishdan tashqari, qullikka qarshi agentlik uni yo'q qilish harakatining Garrisoniya qanoti tarkibidagi ayollarning huquqlarini himoya qilish ishlariga yordam beradigan ilg'or islohotchilar tarmog'i bilan tanishtirdi. 1848 yilning kuzida u Nyu-York shahridagi Farmington shahridagi Fibi Xetveydan uyushtirgan ayollar uchun ma'ruza qilish uchun taklifnoma oldi. Seneka sharsharasi ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha konventsiya va Rochesterda ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha konventsiya o'sha yozning boshida. Ushbu huquq konventsiyalari, fuqarolar urushidan oldin rasmiy tashkilot tashkil qilinmagan bo'lsa ham, ayol huquqlari harakati uchun uzluksizlikni ta'minladi. O'sha paytdagi taniqli rahbarlarning aksariyati ushbu anjumanlarda qatnashgan, faqat kasal yoki kasal bo'lganlar bundan mustasno. Ulardan eng taniqli ayollari - Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Syuzan B. Entoni va Lyusi Stoun ayollarning huquqlari harakati uchun yozgan, yozgan, muhokama qilgan va tarqatganlarida uyg'unlashib, birgalikda ishlashgan.^[36] Stoun 1849 yilning kuzida ular uchun ishlashni qabul qilgan va kutgan bo'lsa-da, agentlik hech qachon amalga oshmadi.^[37] 1849 yil aprelda Stoun ma'ruzaga taklif qilindi Filadelfiya Ayollarning qullikka qarshi jamiyati va Lucretia Mott uning mavjudligidan foydalanib, 1849 yil 4-mayda Pensilvaniya shtatida ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha birinchi yig'ilishni o'tkazdi.^[38] Abutolistlar yordamida Stoun Massachusets shtatidagi ayollarning ovoz berish va davlat lavozimlarida ishlash huquqi bo'yicha birinchi petitsiya kampaniyasini o'tkazdi. Vendell Fillips birinchi iltimosnomalarni va ularga ilova qilingan murojaatlarni ishlab chiqdi va Uilyam Lloyd Garrison ularni Liberator-da kitobxonlarga nusxa ko'chirish va tarqatish uchun nashr etdi. 1850 yil fevral oyida Stoun qonun chiqaruvchiga ariza yuborganida, yarmidan ko'pi u ma'ruza o'qigan shaharlardan edi.^[39]

Milliy ayol huquqlari bo'yicha konventsiya

1850 yil aprel oyida Ogayo shtatidagi ayollar anjumani shtat konvensiyasi Ogayo shtati konstitutsiyasini qayta ko'rib chiqish uchun yig'ilishidan bir necha hafta oldin, Ogayo shtatining Salem shahrida uchrashdi. Ayollar konvensiyasi konstitutsiyaviy konventsiyaga yangi konstitutsiyadan ayollar uchun erkaklar uchun kafolatlangan bir xil siyosiy va qonuniy huquqlarni ta'minlashini so'rab xabar yubordi.^[40] Stoun ularning tashabbusini maqtab maktub yubordi va shunday dedi: "Massachusets siz hozir qilayotgan ishingizda etakchi bo'lishi kerak edi, lekin agar u uzoqroq turishni xohlasa, G'arbdagi yosh opa-singillari unga munosib o'rnak bo'lsin; agar" Hojilarning ruhi o'lmagan, biz Massachusets shtatiga ergashishga va'da beramiz. "^[41]Ba'zi rahbarlar Stone va Lucretia Mottdan konstitutsiyaviy konvensiyada ularning nomidan murojaat qilishni so'rashdi, ammo bunday murojaatlarni shtat aholisi murojaat qilishi kerak deb hisobladilar, ular rad etishdi.^[42]

Shu paytgacha ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha konvensiyalar mintaqaviy yoki davlat asosida tashkil qilingan. Yillik anjumani davomida Amerika qullikka qarshi jamiyat 1850 yilda Bostonda Garrison va boshqa abolitsionistlar ko'magida Stone va Paulina Rayt Devis milliy asosda ayollar huquqlari konvensiyasini tashkil etish imkoniyatini ko'rib chiqish uchun yig'ilish to'g'risida xabarnoma joylashtirdi.^[43]Uchrashuv 1850 yil 30-mayda Bostonning Melodin zalida bo'lib o'tdi. Devis raislik qildi, Stoun esa ushbu taklifni katta va sezgir auditoriyaga taqdim etdi va kotib bo'lib ishladi. Qurultoyni tashkil etish uchun ettita ayol tayinlandi, Devis va Stounga qo'ng'iroq uchun imzo so'rab, ma'ruzachilarni jalb qilish va tashrif buyurish uchun zarur bo'lgan yozishmalarni olib borish topshirildi.^[44]

Qurultoydan bir necha oy oldin Stoun Indiana shtatida sayohat qilayotganda tifo bezgagi bilan kasallanib, deyarli vafot etdi. Stoun kasalligining uzoq davom etgan xususiyati Devisni birinchisining asosiy tashkilotchisi sifatida qoldirdi Ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha milliy konventsiya 1850 yil 23-24 oktyabr kunlari Massachusets shtatining Vorsester shahridagi Brinli Xollda mingga yaqin odam ishtirok etgan uchrashuv bo'lib o'tdi.^[45]Stoun Vosterter anjumaniga tashrif buyurishga muvaffaq bo'ldi, ammo sog'lig'i zaifligi uning ishtirokini chekladi va u yopilish sessiyasigacha rasmiy murojaat qilmadi.^[46]

Konventsiya rasmiy birlashma tuzishga emas, balki yig'ilishlarni tashkil qilish, uning ishlarini nashr etish va qabul qilingan harakatlar rejalarini bajarish uchun doimiy komissiya bilan har yili bo'lib o'tadigan konventsiya sifatida qaror qildi. Tosh Markaziy qo'mitaga to'qqizta ayol va to'qqizta erkak tayinlandi.^[47] Keyingi bahorda u qo'mitaning kotibi bo'ldi va bir yildan tashqari, 1858 yilgacha o'z lavozimini saqlab qoldi. Kotib sifatida tosh butun o'n yil davomida milliy anjumanlarning kun tartibini tashkil qilish va belgilashda etakchi o'rinni egalladi.^[48]

Ayol huquqlari bo'yicha notiq

Xayoliy rasm chizish Margerit Martin Lucy Stounning so'zlariga ko'ra, u yosh ayolni sabzavot bilan urishmoqda. O'ng tomonda, jahl bilan erkaklar unga shlang bilan purkashadi, boshqa bir kishi esa nomli kitobni namoyish etadi Sankt-Pol Sayet.

1851 yil may oyida, Bostonda Nyu-England qullikka qarshi jamiyatining yillik yig'ilishida qatnashayotganda, Stone ko'rgazmasiga bordi. Xiram Pauers haykali Yunoniston qullari. U haykalni shunchalik hayajonlantirdiki, shu kuni kechqurun yig'ilishda nutq so'zlaganida, haykal barcha sehrlangan ayollarga xos timsol ekanligi haqida yuragini to'kdi. Stounning aytishicha, jamiyatning bosh agenti, kichik Semyuel May, qullikka qarshi yig'ilishda ayollarning huquqlari to'g'risida gapirgani uchun uni tanbeh qilgan va u: "Men bekor qilgunga qadar ayol edim. Ayollar uchun gapirishim kerak", dedi.^[49] Uch oy o'tgach, Stoun Mayga ayollarning huquqlari to'g'risida doimiy ravishda ma'ruza qilishni niyat qilganligi va qullikka qarshi ish bilan shug'ullanish imkoniyati yo'qligi to'g'risida xabar berdi.^[50] Stoun 1851 yil 1-oktabrda ayollarning huquqlari bo'yicha mustaqil ma'ruzachi sifatida o'z faoliyatini boshladi. May unga qarshi qullik bilan shug'ullanishni davom ettirganda, u yakshanba kuni Massachusets shtatidagi qullikka qarshi jamiyatda ma'ruza qilishga rozi bo'ldi. Ushbu kelishuvlar asosida ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha ma'ruzalarni uyushtirgan holda, u o'zini qullikdan ozod qilish ishi uchun pul to'lab, mustaqil o'qish xarajatlarini qoplash uchun o'zini qabul qilish uchun etarli darajada o'zini his qilguncha ishlatgan.^[51]

Liboslar islohoti

Lyusi Stounning gravyurasi gullaydiganlar 1853 yilda nashr etilgan.

1851 yil kuzida Stoun ma'ruza o'qishni davom ettirganda, u qishki rekalvessiya davrida qabul qilgan, tizzasidan bir necha dyuym pastga tushgan etak ostidagi keng, kalta ko'ylagi va tor shimlardan iborat yangi uslubdagi libosini kiyib oldi. .^[52] Liboslar sog'liqni saqlashni isloh qilish harakatining mahsuli bo'lib, kitga suyak o'rnatilgan korset ustiga tor ko'ylakning zamonaviy frantsuzcha kiyimi va polga bir necha dyuym sudrab tushgan yubka, kraxmallangan petticoatsning bir necha qavatiga somon bilan almashtirilishi kerak edi. yoki etagiga tikilgan ot sochi. 1849 yil kuzidan beri, qachonki [1] Water-Cure jurnali ayollarni oyoqlaridan erkin foydalanishga imkon beradigan kiyim uslubini ixtiro qilishga chaqirdi, mamlakat bo'ylab ayollar odatda "turk kostyumi" yoki "amerika kiyimi" deb nomlangan qandaydir shim va qisqa yubka kiyib yurishgan.^[53] Ko'pchilik uni yurish yoki bog'dorchilik ko'ylagi sifatida kiygan, ammo ayollarning huquqlari bo'yicha milliy konvensiyaga maktub muallifi ayollarni uni odatiy kiyim sifatida qabul qilishga chaqirgan.^[54]

1851 yilning bahoriga kelib, bir nechta shtatlarda ayollar bu kiyimni jamoat joylarida kiyib yurishgan.^[55] Mart oyida Amelia Bloomer, temperament gazetasining muharriri Lily, kiyganligini e'lon qildi va libosining tavsifini hamda uni yasash bo'yicha ko'rsatmalar bilan birga chop etdi. Ko'p o'tmay, gazetalar uni "Bloomer dress" deb nomlashdi va bu nom yopishib qoldi.^[56]

Bloomer keyingi oylarda modaga aylandi, chunki Toledodan Nyu-York shahriga va Massachusets shtatining Louell shahriga qadar ayollar islohot kiyinadigan ijtimoiy tadbirlar va festivallarni o'tkazdilar. Qo'llab-quvvatlovchilar "Parij modasining despotizmidan mustaqillik deklaratsiyasi" ga imzo to'pladilar va kiyim-kechak islohotlari jamiyatlarini tashkil qildilar. Ushbu tadbirlarda garrisoniyalik bir necha ayol tarafdorlari qatnashdilar va ulardan biri jamoat liboslari uchun kalta yubka va shimlar yasaydigan do'stlariga ipak taklif qildi. Stoun bu taklifni qabul qildi.^[57]

1851 yilning kuzida Stone libosda ma'ruza qilganida, uning tomoshabinlari ko'rgan birinchi Bloomer edi. Ammo o'sha paytga kelib, kiyim munozarali bo'lib qoldi. Garchi gazetalar dastlab yangi uslubning amaliyligini maqtagan bo'lsalar-da, tez orada ular masxara va qoralashga o'tdilar, endi shimlarni erkaklar hokimiyatining ramzini zo'rlash deb bilishadi.^[57] Ko'p ayollar tanqidlar oldida chekinishdi, ammo Stoun faqat keyingi uch yil davomida qisqa ko'ylakni kiyishda davom etdi. Shuningdek, u sochlarini kalta, jag 'chizig'i ostidan kesgan. Stoun 1853 yil aprel oyida Nyu-Yorkda ma'ruza qilganidan so'ng, uning nutqlari haqida hisobot Tasvirlangan yangiliklar Bloomer libosidagi bu tosh o'ymakorligi bilan birga edi.^[58]

Sayohat paytida Stoun kalta yubkani qulay deb topdi va uni ayollarning huquqlariga zarar etkazadigan chalg'ituvchi narsa deb aytganlardan himoya qildi. Shunga qaramay, u yangi joyga kelganida unga qaratiladigan oniy e'tiborni yoqtirmasdi. 1854 yilning kuzida u vaqti-vaqti bilan ishlatish uchun bir necha santimetr uzunroq ko'ylak qo'shdi.^[59] 1855 yilda u bu ko'ylakdan butunlay voz kechdi va 1856 yil fevralda Milliy liboslar islohotlari assotsiatsiyasini tuzishda qatnashmadi. Uning uzun etaklarini tiklagani Gerrit Smit va Lidiya Sayer Xasbruk singari kiyim-kechak islohotlari rahbarlarini qoraladi, uni ayblashdi. erni rozi qilish uchun qurbonlik printsipi.^[60]

Cherkovdan haydash

Stounning qullikka qarshi ishi qullikni qoralashdan bosh tortgan cherkovlarni qattiq tanqid qilishni o'z ichiga olgan. G'arbiy Brukfilddagi o'zining cherkovi, G'arbiy Brukfildning birinchi jamoat cherkovi, qullikka qarshi harakatlari uchun dikonni haydab chiqarganlardan biri edi. 1851 yilda cherkov Toshni o'zi quvib chiqardi.^[50] Tosh allaqachon cherkovning Trinitariya ta'limotidan ancha uzoqlashgan edi. Oberlinda bo'lganida Stoun do'sti Ebi Kelli Foster va uning yangi eri bilan kelishib olgan, Stiven Simonds Foster, u erda qullikni bekor qilish to'g'risida gapirish. Keyinchalik, Charlz Finni, Oberlinda taniqli ilohiyotshunos professori, Fostersni ularni aybladi Unitar e'tiqodlar. Ston qiziqish uyg'otdi, u Uchlik-Birlik qarama-qarshiliklari haqida sinfda munozaralarga kirishdi^[61] va oxir-oqibat uni Unitar deb qaror qildi.^[62] Bolalik cherkovidan haydalgan, u bilan bog'liq Unitar cherkov.^[63]

Ajralish masalalari

O'zining nikohidan oldin Stoun ayollarga mast bo'lgan erlaridan ajrashishga, "sevgisiz nikohni" rasmiy ravishda tugatishga ruxsat berilishi kerak deb o'ylardi, shunda "yaradorning ruhida haqiqiy muhabbat hech qanday qonuniy bog'lanishdan o'sishi mumkin. uni ushlab qolish huquqiga ega edi^[64] ... Toza va muqaddas bo'lgan har qanday narsa nafaqat bo'lish huquqiga ega, balki u tan olinishga ham haqli va bundan tashqari, men tan olinmaslik huquqiga ega emasman. "^[65] Stounning do'stlari ko'pincha bu masalada boshqacha fikrda edilar; "Nette" Braun Stounga 1853 yilda xat yozgan, hatto ikkala tomon ajralishni xohlasa ham, bu g'oyani qabul qilishga tayyor emas.^[65] Stanton ruhoniy pravoslavlikka unchalik moyil bo'lmagan; u ayollarga ajralish huquqini berish tarafdori edi,^[66] oxir-oqibat, nikoh to'g'risidagi qonunlarni isloh qilish ayollarning saylov huquqlaridan ko'ra muhimroq bo'lgan degan fikrga keladi.^[64]

Ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha konventsiyalarni rejalashtirish jarayonida Stoun Stantonga qarshi ish olib borib, taklif qilingan har qanday platformadan ajralishni rasmiy ravishda himoya qilishni olib tashladi. Stoun mavzuni alohida saqlashni, axloqiy bo'shliq paydo bo'lishining oldini olishni xohladi.^[67] U "ayol o'zini axloqiy, aqlli, hisobot beradigan shaxs sifatida o'z shaxsini boshqarish huquqiga ega bo'lish uchun" turtki berdi.^[67] Ayollarga o'z tanalarini boshqarish huquqi berilgandan so'ng, boshqa huquqlar kuchga kirishi aniq edi. Bir necha yil o'tgach, Stoning ajralish haqidagi pozitsiyasi o'zgaradi.

Douglass bilan farqlar

1853 yilda Stoun janubiy shtatlar bo'ylab ma'ruza safari bilan katta auditoriyani jalb qildi. Sobiq qul Frederik Duglass uni qullikka qarshi tamoyillarini chetga surib, faqat ayollar huquqlari haqida gapirib, muvaffaqiyatga erishganlikda ayblab, o'zining abolitsion gazetasida uni tanqid qildi.^[68] Keyinchalik Duglass Stounni faqat oq tanlilarga tegishli Filadelfiyadagi ma'ruza zalida nutq so'zlaganlikda aybdor deb topdi, ammo Stoun u o'sha kuni rejalashtirilgan nutqini tinglovchilarga ushbu muassasani boykot qilish haqidagi murojaat bilan almashtirganini ta'kidladi. Ikkalasi yarashguncha yillar o'tdi.^[69]

G'arbiy tur

1853 yil 14 oktyabrda Klivlendda (Ogayo shtati) o'tkazilgan Ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha milliy konvensiyadan so'ng Stoun va Lyukretiya Mott Tsinsinnatining birinchi ayol huquqlari yig'ilishida nutq so'zladilar. Genri Blekvell, Stonega qiziqish bildirgan, qobiliyatli ayollar oilasidan bo'lgan mahalliy tadbirkor. O'sha muvaffaqiyatli uchrashuvdan so'ng Stoun Blekuellning g'arbiy shtatlarda ma'ruza safari tashkil etish taklifini qabul qildi - u o'sha paytda Pensilvaniya va Virjiniya g'arbiy qismi deb hisoblangan. Keyingi o'n uch hafta ichida Stoun o'n uch shaharda qirqdan ziyod ma'ruza qildi, shu vaqt ichida hisobot berdi New York Tribune u G'arbni ayollarning huquqlariga aralashtirayotganini aytdi, "chunki bu har qanday mavzuda kamdan-kam hollarda qo'zg'atiladi". Luisvillda o'tkazilgan to'rtta ma'ruzadan so'ng Stounga kursni takrorlashini iltimos qilishdi va u erda u boshqa joyda bo'lishidan ko'ra ko'proq ta'sir o'tkazayotganini aytdi. Indianapolis gazetasining xabar berishicha, Stoun "shahardagi ayollarning taxminan uchdan ikki qismini ayollarning huquqlaridan keyin aqldan ozdirgan va erkaklarning yarmini xuddi shunday ahvolga solgan". Sent-Luis hujjatlari, uning ma'ruzalari u erda to'plangan eng katta olomonni o'ziga jalb qilgani va shaharning eng katta auditoriyasini ikki ming kishilik sig'inib yuborganligini aytdi. Chikago gazetalarida uning ma'ruzalari mavsumning eng yaxshisi deb maqtandi va ular shahar uylari va uchrashuv joylarida ilhomlantiruvchi munozaralar va munozaralarga sabab bo'lganligi haqida yozildi. Stoun 1854 yil yanvar oyida uyga borganida, u behisob ta'sirini qoldirdi.^[70]

1854 yildan 1858 yilgacha Stoun Massachusets, Men, Nyu-Xempshir, Vermont, Konnektikut, Rod-Aylend, Nyu-York, Pensilvaniya, Delaver, Nyu-Jersi, Vashington, DC, Ogayo, Indiana, Illinoys, Michigan, Viskonsin va Ontarioda ayollar huquqlari to'g'risida ma'ruzalar qildi. .^[71] Keyinchalik Elizabeth Cady Stanton "Lyusi Stoun ayollarning xatolari to'g'risida haqiqatan ham millat yuragini qo'zg'atgan birinchi ma'ruzachi edi" deb yozadi.^[72]

Ariza berish va tinglash

E. Kady Stanton, Syuzan B. Entoni, Lyusi Stoun va boshqalar imzolagan murojaatnoma

Xotin-qizlar huquqlari harakatining eng taniqli vakili bo'lishdan tashqari, Lyusi Stoun harakatning ariza berish harakatlarini boshqargan. U Nyu-Angliya va boshqa bir qator shtatlarda petitsiya harakatlarini boshladi va Nyu-York, Ogayo va Indiana shtatlaridagi va mahalliy tashkilotlarning murojaatlariga yordam berdi.

Massachusets shtati

1849 yildan 1852 yilgacha Massachusets qonun chiqaruvchi organiga ayollarning saylov va davlat xizmatlarida ishlash huquqini berish to'g'risida iltimosnoma yuborganidan so'ng,^[73] Stoun 1853 yil 4 mayda bo'lib o'tadigan anjumanda davlat konstitutsiyasini qayta ko'rib chiqish uchun ariza bilan murojaat qildi. Vendell Fillips "erkak" so'zi konstitutsiyada qaerda bo'lsa ham urib qo'yilishini so'rab, ham petitsiyani tayyorladi, ham Massachusets shtati fuqarolarini uni imzolashga chaqirdi. To'qqiz oy davomida davlatni bosib olganidan so'ng, Stoun besh mingdan ortiq imzo qo'ygan qurultoyga murojaat yubordi. 1853 yil 27-mayda Stoun va Fillips konvensiyaning Saylovchilar malakasi qo'mitasida chiqish qildilar. Stounning eshitishlari to'g'risida xabar berishda Ozod qiluvchi Eslatib o'tamiz: "Hech qachon dunyo yaratilgandan buyon, biron bir mamlakatda ayol qonunchilik zalida o'z shaxsida vakillik qilishni va qonunlarni ishlab chiqishda va uning harakatlarini belgilashda teng ishtirok etishni talabini ochiq e'lon qilmagan. hukumat. "^[74]

Ko'p davlatli kampaniyalar

Stoun o'zining ariza berish harakatlarini kengaytirish uchun 1854 yil 2 iyunda Bostonda Yangi Angliya ayol huquqlari konvensiyasini chaqirdi. Konventsiya uning barcha oltita Yangi Angliya qonun chiqaruvchilariga iltimosnoma yuborish to'g'risidagi qarorini, shuningdek uning taklif qilingan ariza shaklini qabul qildi va ishni tashkil qilish uchun har bir shtatda qo'mita tayinladi.^[75] 1855 yil iyun oyida bo'lib o'tgan Nyu-Angliya ayol huquqlari to'g'risidagi ikkinchi konvensiyasi oldidagi nutqida Stoun ayollarning saylov huquqiga ega bo'lishining bir sababi, erishilgan yutuqlarni himoya qilish ekanligini ta'kidlab, "keyingi qonunchilik palatasi ayollar uchun qilgan so'nggi ishlarini bekor qilishi mumkin" deb eslatdi. " Konventsiya byulleteni "ayollarning qilichi va qalqoni; boshqa barcha fuqarolik huquqlariga erishish va himoya qilish vositasi" deb nomlangan rezolyutsiya qabul qildi, boshqasi esa milliy konvensiyani birinchi o'ringa qo'yilgan saylov huquqini berishga undaydi.^[76]

The next National Woman's Rights Convention met in Cincinnati on October 17 and 18, 1855. It was here that Stone delivered impromptu remarks that became famous as her "disappointment" speech. When a heckler interrupted the proceedings, calling female speakers "a few disappointed women", Stone retorted that yes, she was indeed a "disappointed woman." "In education, in marriage, in religion, in everything, disappointment is the lot of woman. It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman's heart until she bows down to it no longer."^[77] The convention adopted Stone's resolution calling for the circulation of petitions and saying it was "the duty of women in their respective States to ask the legislators for the elective franchise."^[78] Following the convention, suffrage petitioning took place in the New England states, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska, with resultant legislative hearings or action in Nebraska and Wisconsin. Amelia Bloomer, recently moved to Iowa near the Nebraska border, took up the work in that area,^[79] while the Indiana Woman's Rights Society, at least one of whose officers was at the Cincinnati convention, directed the work in Indiana. Stone had helped launch the New York campaign at a state woman's rights convention in Saratoga Springs in August,^[80] and at the Cleveland convention recruited workers for it, as well as for the work in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio.^[81] Stone took charge of the work in Ohio, her new home state, drafting its petition, placing it in Ohio newspapers and circulating it during lectures across southern Ohio while her recruit worked in the northern part of the state. Stone also lectured in Illinois and Indiana in support of the petition drives there and personally introduced the work in Wisconsin, where she found volunteers to circulate the petition and legislators to introduce them in both houses of the legislature.^[82]

At the national convention of 1856, Stone presented a new strategy suggested by Antuanetta Braun Blekvell to send a memorial to the various state legislatures signed by the officers of the National Woman's Rights Convention. Antoinette Brown had married Samuel Charlz Blekvell on January 24, 1856, becoming Stone's sister-in-law in the process.^[83] Stone, Brown Blackwell, and Ernestine Rose were appointed a committee to carry out the plan. Stone drafted and printed the appeal, and Brown Blackwell mailed it to twenty-five state legislatures. Indiana and Pennsylvania referred the memorial to select committees, while both Massachusetts and Maine granted hearings. On March 6, 1857, Stone, Wendell Phillips and James Freeman Clarke addressed the Judiciary Committee of the Massachusetts senate, and on March 10, Stone and Phillips addressed a select committee of the Maine legislature.^[84]

On July 4, 1856, in Viroqua, Viskonsin, Stone gave the first women's rights and anti-slavery speech delivered by a woman in the area.^[85]

Soliqqa qarshi norozilik

In January 1858, Stone staged a highly publicized protest that took the issue of taxation without representation across the nation. The previous summer she and Blackwell had purchased a house in Orange, New Jersey, and when the first tax bill came, Stone returned it unpaid with the explanation that taxing women while denying them the right to vote was a violation of America's founding principles. On January 22, 1858, the city auctioned some of her household goods to pay the tax and attendant court costs.^[86] The following month, Stone and Blackwell spoke on taxation without representation before two large meetings in Orange, and circulated petitions asking the New Jersey legislature for woman's suffrage.^[87] Stone's protest inspired other tax-paying women to action: some followed her example and refused to pay taxes, with one case reaching the Massachusetts Supreme Court in 1863, while others went to the polls to demand their right as taxpayers to vote.^[88]

Nikoh

Henry Blackwell began a two-year courtship of Stone in the summer of 1853. Stone told him she did not wish to marry because she did not want to surrender control over her life and would not assume the legal position occupied by a married woman. Blackwell maintained that despite the law, couples could create a marriage of equal partnership, governed by their mutual agreement. They could also take steps to protect the wife against unjust laws, such as placing her assets in the hands of a trustee. He also believed that marriage would allow each partner to accomplish more than he or she could alone, and to show how he could help advance Stone's work, he arranged her highly successful western lecturing tour of 1853.^[89] Over an eighteen-month courtship conducted primarily through correspondence, Stone and Blackwell discussed the nature of marriage, actual and ideal, as well as their own natures and suitability for marriage. Stone gradually fell in love and in November 1854 agreed to marry Blackwell.^[90]

Genri Braun Blekvell

Stone and Blackwell developed a private agreement aimed at preserving and protecting Stone's financial independence and personal liberty. In monetary matters, they agreed that the marriage be like a business partnership, with the partners being "joint proprietors of everything except the results of previous labors." Neither would have claim to lands belonging to the other, nor any obligation for the other's costs of holding them. While married and living together they would share earnings, but if they should separate, they would relinquish claim to the other's subsequent earnings. Each would have the right to will their property to whomever they pleased unless they had children.^[91] Over Blackwell's objections, Stone refused to be supported and insisted on paying half of their mutual expenses.^[92] In addition to financial independence, Stone and Blackwell agreed that each would enjoy personal independence and autonomy: "Neither partner shall attempt to fix the residence, employment, or habits of the other, nor shall either partner feel bound to live together any longer than is agreeable to both." During their discussion of marriage, Stone had given Blackwell a copy of Henry C. Wright's book Marriage and Parentage; Or, The Reproductive Element in Man, as a Means to His Elevation and Happiness,^[93] and asked him to accept its principles as what she considered the relationship between husband and wife should be.^[94] Wright proposed that because women bore the results of sexual intercourse, wives should govern a couple's marital relations. In accordance with that view, Blackwell agreed that Stone would choose "when, where and how often" she would "become a mother."^[95] In addition to this private agreement, Blackwell drew up a protest of laws, rules, and customs that conferred superior rights on husbands and, as part of the wedding ceremony, pledged never to avail himself of those laws.^[96]

The wedding took place at Stone's home in West Brookfield, Massachusetts, on May 1, 1855, with Stone's close friend and co-worker Tomas Ventuort Xigginson sudya. Higginson sent a copy of Stone and Blackwell's Protest to the Worcester Spy, and from there it spread across the country. While some commentators viewed it as a protest against marriage itself, others agreed that no woman should resign her legal existence without such formal protest against the despotism that forced her to forgo marriage and motherhood or submit to the degradation in which law placed a married woman. It inspired other couples to make similar protests part of their wedding ceremonies.^[97]

Keeping her name

Stone viewed the tradition of wives abandoning their own surname to assume that of their husbands as a manifestation of the legal annihilation of a married woman's identity. Immediately after her marriage, with the agreement of her husband, she continued to sign correspondence as "Lucy Stone" or "Lucy Stone – only."^[98] But during the summer, Blackwell tried to register the deed for property Stone purchased in Wisconsin, and the registrar insisted she sign it as "Lucy Stone Blackwell." The couple consulted Blackwell's friend, Salmon P. Chase, a Cincinnati lawyer and future Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, who was not immediately able to answer their question about the legality of her name. So while continuing to sign her name as Lucy Stone in private correspondence, for eight months she signed her name as Lucy Stone Blackwell on public documents and allowed herself to be so identified in convention proceedings and newspaper reports. But upon receiving assurance from Chase that no law required a married woman to change her name, Stone made a public announcement at the May 7, 1856, convention of the Amerika qullikka qarshi jamiyat in Boston that her name remained Lucy Stone.^[99] In 1879, when Boston women were granted the franchise in school elections, Stone registered to vote. But officials notified her that she would not be allowed to vote unless she added "Blackwell" to her signature. U buni rad etdi va shuning uchun u ovoz berolmadi. Because her time and energy were consumed with suffrage work, she did not challenge the action in a court of law.^[100]

Bolalar

Stone and Blackwell had one daughter, Elis Stoun Blekuell, born September 14, 1857, who became a leader of the suffrage movement and wrote the first biography of her mother, Lucy Stone: Pioneer Woman Suffragist.^[101] In 1859, while the family was living temporarily in Chicago, Stone miscarried and lost a baby boy.^[102]

Waning activism

After her marriage, from the summer of 1855 to the summer of 1857, Stone continued a full lecturing, petitioning, and organizing schedule.In January 1856, Stone was accused in court, and spoke in defense of a rumor put forward by the prosecution that Stone gave a knife to former slave Margaret Garner, on trial for the killing of her own child to prevent it from being enslaved. Stone was said to have slipped the prisoner the knife so that Garner could kill herself if she was forced to return to slavery. Stone was referred to by the court as "Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell" and was asked if she wanted to defend herself; she preferred to address the assembly off the record after adjournment,^[103] saying "...With my own teeth I would tear open my veins and let the earth drink my blood, rather than wear the chains of slavery. How then could I blame her for wishing her child to find freedom with God and the angels, where no chains are?"^[104]

The birth of her daughter in September 1857, however, began to reduce the level of her activism. Stone had made preliminary arrangements for the 1857 national convention to be held in Providence, but because she would not be able to attend it, she handed responsibility to Susan B. Anthony and Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Qachon 1857 yilgi vahima disrupted Anthony's plan to move the convention to Chicago, Stone made the announcement that the next National Woman's Rights Convention would be in May 1858.^[105] Anthony helped Stone arrange the 1858 convention and then took sole responsibility for the 1859 meeting. Elizabeth Cady Stanton took charge of the 1860 convention.^[106]

Stone hired a nursemaid to help care for her daughter, who was in poor health for several years, but she didn't trust her ability to provide proper care when Stone was absent. Stone eventually withdrew from most public work to stay at home with her child. She resigned from the Central Committee, which organized the annual women's rights conventions. She began to suffer from self-doubt and a lack of drive in addition to the debilitating headaches that had plagued her for years. She made only two public appearances during the Fuqarolar urushi (1861—1865): to attend the founding convention of the Women's Loyal National League and the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Amerika qullikka qarshi jamiyat, both in 1863. Stone began to increase her reform activities back to a normal level after the Civil War had ended.^[107]

As a lifelong believer in nonresistance, Stone could not support the war effort as so many of her friends did.^[108] She could certainly support the drive to end slavery, however, which the war had made into a realistic possibility. In 1863, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony organized the Women's Loyal National League, the first national women's political organization in the U.S. It collected nearly 400,000 signatures on petitions to abolish slavery in the largest petition drive in the nation's history up to that time.^[109] Despite her reduced public activity, Stone agreed to preside over the League's founding convention, and she later agreed to manage its office for two weeks to give Anthony a badly-needed break. She declined, however, to go on lecture tours for the League.^[110]

Henry Blackwell had for years worked with real estate investments. In 1864, amid wartime inflation, his investments began to pay off handsomely. Stone was enormously relieved to have the family freed from the debts that had been contracted to buy investment property. This major improvement in the family's finances enabled Blackwell to scale back his business efforts and devote more of his time to social reform activities.^[111]

Beginning to ease back into public activity, Stone embarked on a lecture tour on women's rights in New York and New England in the autumn of 1865.^[112] She was still experiencing periods of self-doubt a year later, but, with Blackwell's encouragement, she traveled with him on a joint lecture tour in 1866.^[113]

Milliy tashkilotlar

American Equal Rights Association

Slavery was abolished in December 1865 with the ratification of the O'n uchinchi tuzatish uchun AQSh konstitutsiyasi, which raised questions about the future role of the Amerika qullikka qarshi jamiyat (AASS). In January 1866, Stone and Anthony traveled to an AASS meeting in Boston to propose a merger of the anti-slavery and women's movements into one that would campaign for equal rights for all citizens. The AASS, preferring to focus on the rights of African Americans, especially the newly freed slaves, rejected their proposal.^[114]

In May 1866, Anthony and Stanton organized the Eleventh Ayollar huquqlari bo'yicha milliy konventsiya, the first since before the Fuqarolar urushi boshlangan.^[115]In a move similar to the proposal that had been made earlier to anti-slavery forces, the convention voted to transform itself into a new organization called the American Equal Rights Association (AERA), whose purpose was to campaign for the equal rights for all, especially the right of suffrage.^[116] Stone did not attend the AERA's founding convention, most likely for fear of the recent vabo outbreak in New York City, the meeting's location. She was nevertheless elected to the new organization's executive committee. Blackwell was elected as the AERA's recording secretary.^[117]

In 1867, Stone and Blackwell opened the AERA's difficult campaign in Kanzas qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun referendum in that state that would enfranchise both African Americans and women. They led the effort for three months before turning the work over to others and returning home. Neither of the Kansas referenda was approved by the voters. Disagreements over tactics used during the Kansas campaign contributed to a growing split in the women's movement, which was formalized after the AERA convention in 1869.^[118]

Split within the women's movement

The immediate cause of the split was the proposed Fifteenth Amendment Bu irq tufayli saylov huquqini rad etishni taqiqlaydi. In one of their most controversial moves, Anthony and Stanton campaigned against the amendment, insisting that women and African Americans should be enfranchised at the same time. They said that by effectively enfranchayzing all men while excluding all women, the amendment would create an "aristocracy of sex" by giving constitutional authority to the idea that men were superior to women.^[119]

Stone supported the amendment. She had expected, however, that progressive forces would push for the enfranchisement of African Americans and women at the same time and was distressed when they did not. In 1867, she wrote to Ebbi Kelli Foster, an abolitionist, to protest the plan to enfranchise black men first. "O Abby", she wrote, "it is a terrible mistake you are all making... There is no other name given by which this country mumkin be saved, but that of ayol."^[120]In a dramatic debate with Frederik Duglass at the AERA convention in 1869, Stone argued that suffrage for women was more important than suffrage for African Americans. She nevertheless supported the amendment, saying, "But I thank God for that XV. Amendment, and hope that it will be adopted in every State. I will be thankful in my soul if har qanday tanasi dahshatli chuqurdan chiqib ketishi mumkin. Ammo menimcha, hukumat xavfsizligi negativdan ko'ra ayolni tiklash va uyg'unlik elementi sifatida qabul qilinishi bilan ta'minlanadi. "^[121] Stone and her allies expected that their active support for the amendment to enfranchise black men would lead their abolitionist friends in Congress to push for an amendment to enfranchise women as the next step, but that did not happen.^[122]

Henry Blackwell, Stone's husband and an important figure in the suffrage movement in the coming years, also supported the amendment. His special interest, however, which he pursued for decades, was in convincing southern politicians that the enfranchisement of women would help to ensure white supremacy in their region.^[123] In 1867, he published an open letter to southern legislatures, assuring them that if both blacks and women were enfranchised, "the political supremacy of your white race will remain unchanged" and "the black race would gravitate by the law of nature toward the tropics."^[124] Stone's reaction to this idea is unknown.^[125]

The AERA essentially collapsed after its acrimonious convention in May 1869, and two competing woman suffrage organizations were created in its aftermath. Two days after the convention, Anthony, Stanton and their allies formed the Milliy ayollarning saylov huquqlari assotsiatsiyasi (NWSA). 1869 yil noyabrda Lyusi Stoun, Julia Ward Howe and their allies formed the competing American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA).^[126] The AWSA initially was the larger of the two organizations,^[127] but it declined in strength during the 1880s.^[128]

Even after the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870, differences between the two organizations remained. The AWSA worked almost exclusively for women's suffrage while the NWSA initially worked on a wide range of issues, including divorce reform and ayollar uchun teng ish haqi. The AWSA included both men and women among its leadership while the NWSA was led by women.^[129] The AWSA worked for suffrage mostly at the state level while the NWSA worked more at the national level. The AWSA cultivated an image of respectability while the NWSA sometimes used confrontational tactics.^[130]

Divorce and "free love"

In 1870, at the twentieth anniversary celebration of the first National Women's Rights Convention in Worcester, Stanton spoke for three hours rallying the crowd for women's right to divorce. By then, Stone's position on the matter had shifted significantly. Personal differences between Stone and Stanton came to the fore on the issue, with Stone writing "We believe in marriage for life, and deprecate all this loose, pestiferous talk in favor of easy divorce."^[64] Stone made it clear that those wishing for "free divorce" were not associated with Stone's organization AWSA, headed at that time by Reverend Genri Uord Beecher.^[64] Stone wrote against 'free love:' "Be not deceived—free love means free lust."^[64]

This editorial position would come back to haunt Stone. Also in 1870, Elizabeth Roberts Tilton told her husband Theodore Tilton that she had been carrying on an zinokor relation with his good friend Henry Ward Beecher. Theodore Tilton published an editorial saying that Beecher "has at a most unseemly time of life been detected in improper intimacies with certain ladies of his congregation."^[131] Tilton also informed Stanton about the alleged affair, and Stanton passed the information to Viktoriya Vudxull. Woodhull, a free love advocate, printed innuendo about Beecher, and began to woo Tilton, convincing him to write a book of her life story from imaginative material that she supplied.^[132] In 1871, Stone wrote to a friend "my one wish in regard to Mrs. Woodhull is, that [neither] she nor her ideas, may be so much as heard of at our meeting."^[133] Woodhull's self-serving activities were attracting disapproval from both centrist AWSA and radical NWSA. To divert criticism from herself, Woodhull published a denunciation of Beecher in 1872 saying that he practiced free love in private while speaking out against it from the pulpit. This caused a sensation in the press, and resulted in an inconclusive legal suit and a subsequent formal inquiry lasting well into 1875. The furor over adultery and the friction between various camps of women's rights activists took focus away from legitimate political aims. Harry Blackwell wrote to Stone from Michigan where he was working toward putting woman suffrage into the state constitution, saying "This Beecher-Tilton affair is playing the deuce with [woman suffrage] in Michigan. No chance of success this year I fancy."^[134]

Ovoz berish huquqlari

In 1870, Stone and Blackwell moved from New Jersey to Dorchester, Massachusets, which today is a neighborhood of Boston just south of downtown. There they purchased Pope's Hill, a seventeen-room house with extensive grounds and several outbuildings.^[135] Many of the town's women had been active in the Dorchester Female Anti-Slavery Society and, by 1870, a number of local women were suffragists.

Yangi Angliya ayollarning saylov huquqlari assotsiatsiyasi

At her new home, Stone worked closely with the Yangi Angliya ayollarning saylov huquqlari assotsiatsiyasi (NEWSA), the first major political organization in the U.S. with women's suffrage as its goal. Two years earlier she had traveled to Boston to participate in its founding convention and had been elected to its executive committee.^[136] In 1877, she became its president and served in that position until her death in 1893.^[137]

Ayollar jurnali

In 1870, Stone and Blackwell founded the Ayollar jurnali, an eight-page weekly newspaper based in Boston. Originally intended primarily to voice the concerns of the NEWSA and the AWSA, by the 1880s it had become an unofficial voice of the suffrage movement as a whole.^[138] Stone edited the journal for the rest of her life, assisted by her husband and their daughter Elis Stoun Blekuell. Stone did not collect a salary for her work on the paper, which required continual financial support. One of her greatest challenges was raising money to keep it going. Its circulation reached a peak of 6,000, although in 1878 it was 2,000 less than it had been two years earlier.^[139]

After the AWSA and NWSA merged to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in 1890, the Ayollar jurnali became its official voice and eventually the basis for a newspaper with a much wider circulation.^[140] In 1917, at a time when victory for women's suffrage was coming closer, Carrie Chapman Catt, leader of the NAWSA, said, "There can be no overestimating the value to the suffrage cause of the Ayollar jurnali... The suffrage success of to-day is not conceivable without the Woman's Journal's part in it.^[141]

"The Colorado Lesson"

Lucy Stone's portrait as it appeared in History of Woman Suffrage, Volume II, in 1881

In 1877, Stone was asked by Reychel Foster Avery to come assist Kolorado activists in the organization of a popular referendum campaign with the aim of gaining suffrage for Coloradan women. Together, Stone and Blackwell worked the northern half of the state in late summer, while Susan Anthony traveled the less-promising rough-and-tumble southern half. Patchwork and scattered support was reported by activists, with some areas more receptive. Latino voters proved largely uninterested in voting reform; some of that resistance was blamed on the extreme opposition to the measure voiced by the Roman Catholic bishop of Colorado. All but a handful of politicians in Colorado ignored the measure, or actively fought it. Stone concentrated on convincing Denver voters during the October ballot, but the measure lost heavily, with 68% voting against it. Married working men showed the greatest support, and young single men the least. Blackwell called it "The Colorado Lesson", writing that "Woman suffrage can never be carried by a popular vote, without a political party behind it."^[142]

School board vote

In 1879, after Stone organized a petition by suffragists across the state, Massachusetts women were given strictly delimited voting rights: a woman who could prove the same qualifications as a male voter was allowed to cast her vote for members of the school board. Stone applied to the voting board in Boston but was required to sign her husband's surname as her own. She refused, and never participated in that vote.^[143]

Yarashish

In 1887, eighteen years after the rift formed in the American women's rights movement, Stone proposed a merger of the two groups. Plans were drawn up, and, at their annual meetings, propositions were heard and voted on, then passed to the other group for evaluation. By 1890, the organizations resolved their differences and merged to form the Amerikalik ayollarning saylov huquqlari bo'yicha milliy assotsiatsiyasi (NAWSA). Stone was too weak with heart problems and respiratory illness to attend its first convention^[144] but was elected chair of the executive committee. Stanton was president of the new organization, but Anthony, who had the title of vice president, was its leader in practice.^[145]

Lucy Stone in old age

Starting early in January 1891, Kerri Chapman Katt visited Stone repeatedly at Pope's Hill, for the purpose of learning from Stone about the ways of political organizing.^[146] Stone had previously met Catt at an Iowa state woman's suffrage convention in October, 1889, and had been impressed at her ambition and sense of presence, saying "Mrs. Chapman will be heard from yet in this movement."^[147] Stone mentored Catt the rest of that winter, giving her a wealth of information about lobbying techniques and fund-raising. Catt later used the teaching to good effect in leading the final drive to gain women the vote in 1920.^[146]

Catt, Stone and Blackwell went together to the January, 1892 NAWSA convention in Washington, DC. Bilan birga Isabella Beecher Hooker, Stone, Stanton and Anthony, the "triumvirate" of women's suffrage,^[9] were called away from the convention's opening hours by an unexpected woman suffrage hearing before the Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari Uy sudining qo'mitasi. Stone told the assembled congressmen "I come before this committee with the sense which I always feel, that we are handicapped as women in what we try to do for ourselves by the single fact that we have no vote. This cheapens us. You do not care so much for us as if we had votes..."^[148] Stone argued that men should work to pass laws for equality in property rights between the sexes. Stone demanded an eradication of coverture, the folding of a wife's property into that of her husband.^[149] Stone's impromptu speech paled in comparison to Stanton's brilliant outpouring which preceded hers. Stone later published Stanton's speech in its entirety in the Ayollar jurnali as "Solitude of Self".^[146][150] Back at the NAWSA convention, Anthony was elected president, with Stanton and Stone becoming honorary presidents.^[146]

Final appearance

In 1892, Stone was convinced to sit for a portrait in sculpture, rendered by Anne Uitni, sculptor and poet. Stone had previously protested the proposed portrait for more than a year, saying that the funds to engage an artist would be better spent on suffrage work. Stone finally yielded to pressure from Frensis Uillard, Yangi Angliya ayollar klubi and some of her friends and neighbors in the Boston area, and sat while Whitney produced a büstü.^[151] In February 1893, Stone invited her brother Frank and his wife Sarah to come see the bust, before it was shipped to Chicago for display at the upcoming Dunyo Kolumbiya ko'rgazmasi.^[146]

Stone went with her daughter to Chicago in May 1893 and gave her last public speeches at the Butunjahon Vakil Ayollar Kongressi where she saw a strong international involvement in women's congresses, with almost 500 women from 27 countries speaking at 81 meetings, and attendance topping 150,000 at the week-long event.^[152] Stone's immediate focus was on state referenda under consideration in New York and Nebraska.^[153] Stone presented a speech she had prepared entitled "The Progress of Fifty Years" wherein she described the milestones of change, and said "I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned."^[154] Stone met with Carrie Chapman Catt and Abigayl Skot Duniuey to form a plan for organizing in Colorado, and Stone attended two days of meetings about getting a woman suffrage drive restarted in Kansas. Stone and her daughter returned home to Pope's Hill on May 28.^[155]

Those who knew Stone well thought her voice was lacking strength. In August when she and her husband Harry wanted to take part in more meetings at the Exposition, she was too weak to go. Stone was diagnosed as suffering from advanced stomach cancer in September. She wrote final letters to friends and relatives. Having "prepared for death with serenity and an unwavering concern for the women's cause", Lucy Stone died on October 18, 1893, at the age of 75. At her funeral three days later, 1,100 people crowded the church, and hundreds more stood silently outside.^[156] Six women and six men served as pallbearers, including sculptor Anne Whitney, and Stone's old abolitionist friends Tomas Ventuort Xigginson va Samuel Jozef May.^[157] Mourners lined the streets for a sight of the funeral procession, and front-page banner headlines ran in news accounts. Stone's death was the most widely reported of any American woman's up to that time.^[158]

According to her wishes, her body was cremated, making her the first person cremated in Massachusetts, though a wait of over two months was undertaken while the crematorium at O'rmon tepaliklari qabristoni tugallanishi mumkin edi. Stone's remains are interred at Forest Hills; a chapel there is named after her.^[159]

Meros

Stone's portrait was used in Boston on a political button between 1900 and 1920.

Lucy Stone's refusal to take her husband's name, as an assertion of her own rights, was controversial then, and is largely what she is remembered for today. Women who continue to use their maiden name after marriage are still occasionally known as "Lucy Stoners" in the United States.^[4] 1921 yilda Lucy Stone ligasi yilda tashkil etilgan Nyu-York shahri tomonidan Rut Xeyl, described in 1924 by Vaqt as the "'Lucy Stone'-spouse" of Xeyvud Broun.^[160] The League was re-instituted in 1997.

50 sent Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlarining pochta xizmati stamp honoring Stone

Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Jozlin Geyj va Ida Husted Harper began in 1876 to write the History of Woman Suffrage. They planned for one volume but finished four before the death of Anthony in 1906, and two more afterward. The first three volumes chronicled the beginnings of the women's rights movement, including the years that Stone was active. Because of differences between Stone and Stanton that had been highlighted in the schism between NWSA and AWSA,^[149] Stone's place in history was marginalized in the work. The text was used as the standard scholarly resource on 19th-century U.S. feminism for much of the 20th century, causing Stone's extensive contribution to be overlooked in many histories of women's causes.^[158]

On August 13, 1968, the 150th anniversary of her birth, the AQSh pochta xizmati honored Stone with a 50¢ postage stamp in the Prominent Americans series. The image was adapted from a photograph included in Alice Stone Blackwell's biography of Stone.^[161]

In 1986, Stone was inducted into the Milliy ayollar shon-sharaf zali.^[162]

In 1999, a series of six tall marble panels with a bronze bust in each was added to the Massachusetts State House; the busts are of Stone, Florensiya Luskomb, Meri Kenni O'Sallivan, Jozefina avliyo Per Ruffin, Sarah Parker Remond va Doroteya Diks.^[163] As well, two quotations from each of those women (including Stone) are etched on their own marble panel, and the wall behind all the panels has wallpaper made of six government documents repeated over and over, with each document being related to a cause of one or more of the women.^[163]

An administration and classroom building on Livingston Campus at Rutgers universiteti yilda Nyu-Jersi is named for Lucy Stone. Uorren, Massachusets contains a Lucy Stone Park, along the Quaboag daryosi. Anne Whitney's 1893 bust of Lucy Stone is on display in Boston's Faneuil Hall building.

Uy

The Lucy Stone Home Site is owned and managed by Rezervasyonlarning ishonchli vakillari, a non-profit land conservation and historic preservation organization dedicated to preserving natural and historic places in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The site includes 61 acres of forested land on the side of Coys Hill in West Brookfield, Massachusetts. Although the farmhouse in which Stone was born and married burned to the ground in 1950, its ruins are at the center of the property.^[166] At the time of Stone's wedding, both her parents and a married brother and his family lived in the two-and-one-half-story house, and family descendants continued to live there until 1936. In 1915, a pilgrimage of suffragists placed a memorial tablet on the house, which read: "This house was the birthplace of Lucy Stone, pioneer advocate of equal rights for women. Born August 13, 1818. Married May 1, 1855, died October 18, 1893. In grateful memory Massachusetts suffragists placed this tablet August 13, 1915." That tablet, severely damaged but surviving the 1950 fire, is now in the Quaboag Historical Society Museum. After the fire, the surrounding farmland was abandoned and left to revert to forest, and it is now used for hunting and harvesting timber. The Trustees acquired the home site in 2002 and have been maintaining the property ever since.
