 Dorchester Reporter, Dorchester MA USA
Although Lucy Stone had evinced no desire for marriage, "in order that she might give all of her energies to the cause of women's rights," she fell in love with businessman and social activist Henry Brown Blackwell, the brother of landmark physician Elizabeth Blackwell.
Stone's only child, Alice Stone Blackwell, also remembered her mother in a way that many Dorchester residents would have seconded: "The general idea of a woman's rights advocate…was a tall, gaunt, angular woman, with aggressive manners, a masculine air, and a strident voice, scolding at the men.
Neighbors who regarded Stone as an indefatigable, often controversial dynamo would perhaps have been surprised to learn that "her inner life was far from serene." Henry Blackwell wrote: "At all times of her life, Lucy was subject to occasional severe nervous headaches accompanied by days of extreme depression during which she sought absolute silence."
