Overview

Alice Stone Blackwell didn't just inherit the fight for woman's rights-she was the indispensable bridge that guided it to victory. Born the only child of suffrage pioneers Lucy Stone and Henry B. Blackwell, Alice faced the daunting task of uniting a fractured movement. She was the diplomatic force who orchestrated the union of warring factions into the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and the relentless editor who steered the movement's official voice, The Woman's Journal, for four decades. But Blackwell's commitment extended far beyond the ballot box. A fierce international humanitarian, she used her mastery of languages to translate the poetry of the oppressed-Armenian, Russian, and Yiddish exiles-turning verse into fuel for global relief efforts and political reform. This definitive biography re-centers the crucial figure who not only navigated the suffrage movement to its triumph in 1920 but championed the Equal Rights Amendment in the decades that followed. Discover the quiet editor who became the true anchor of American reform. Approx.170 pages, 33100 word count
