Suffragist and abolitionist Lucy Stone, a pioneer in the 19th century's two greatest movements for equality, finds her voice in this STEAM picture book for budding activists.

Lucy Stone grew up in a world where men's voices rang out, but women swallowed their words. When her church's minister railed against women speaking in public, Lucy made up her mind that when she grew up, ""if she had anything to say, she would say it!""

Forced to learn to debate and give speeches in secret, Lucy used her voice to pave the way for others, becoming one of the 19th century's great advocates for women's rights and the abolition of slavery.

In this engaging nonfiction book, Vivian Kirkfield's passionate text and Rebecca Gibbon's playful illustrations combine to encourage readers to find their own voices to speak up for what they believe in.
