This correspondence documents the ideals and careers of two women who have received little attention from historians: Stone, a lecturer on antislavery, temperance, and women's rights, and a leading figure in the American Woman Suffrage Association, and Brown, the first woman minister in a regular U.S. Protestant denomination. The two became sisters-in-law through their respective marriages to Henry and Samuel Blackwell. Detailing their shared political pursuits as well as personal and family concerns, these letters show the importance of supportive female friendship to the success of pioneering feminists and provide a sensitive glimpse into the lives of two women who juggled family and career a century ago.
