Deblovestoread I listened to this on audio and was surprised there weren‘t any author notes showing where truth and fiction intersected. Was there author notes in the printed version? 3y

kspenmoll @Kdgordon88 There is an author‘s note where she states/details that it is fiction but that she tried to use as many sources such as letters, dairies, family papers, other biographies as possible. 3y

katy4peas I listened to it as well and then bought myself a paper copy to keep on my shelf and another copy for a Christmas gift for my grandma. I also requested it be bought at my library so I can use it as a staff pick title. 😊 Great Choice! 3y

megnews @Kdgordon88 @Readswithcoffee same here! @sblbooks that‘s great! This book really makes you think. 3y

Deblovestoread @sblbooks Yes! We should not be afraid to use our voice. 3y

kspenmoll So so many feelings- admiration, empathy, for Lucy & her courage- not sure I could be like her at that time. Gratitude for all the courageous women before us& now who stand up. 3y

megnews @kspenmoll I agree. If you think about it it was dangerous for a woman to travel alone at that time. She never knew where she‘d sleep or eat. Loved in poverty basically. Much as I‘d want the changes I‘m not sure I could have done it. 3y

katy4peas @sblbooks I feel like that too, but man, Lucy was so well-spoken. 💕 3y

Birdsong28 It made me feel angry that even though we don't have slavery some races aren't still free and that even though we have come some way to achieving equality for all, alot of the points raised in the book are still valid today. 3y

Roary47 @Kdgordon88 I completely agree there. As a mom her feelings before and after her kids were the most impactful. I personally felt a strong calling to be a mom, take care of the house, and still work a full time job. Lucy stressed that point a few times of well, why can‘t you have it all. 3y

Deblovestoread It is a good reminder of how little women were valued, how hard it was to raise a family and how they had no choice and no voice. I cannot imagine that life without appreciating every instance in my life where I was allowed to choose my path even when I chose wrong. 3y

Readswithcoffee Every time I read about how hard life was for women, I am thankful that I am living now! It is hard to imagine having absolutely no rights and living in a time/place where everything depended upon one‘s husband. 3y

sblbooks @Kdgordon88 and @Readswithcoffee. Good points, our ancestors had it so much harder than we do today. 3y

megnews @Kdgordon88 @Readswithcoffee @sblbooks when I read American historical fiction I often think about how it impacted my ancestors. My great grandma was 25 before women won the right to vote. I wonder if she was aware these battles were going on and what she and her husband thought about them or if she was just busy raising 7 kids. I also think about how hard life was, no option to work outside the home if you wanted, lack of access to birth ⬇️ 3y

megnews ⬆️ control was a big health concern. I‘m so grateful they set aside their comfort and fought for things we take for granted. 3y

kspenmoll A reminder of how women had to get their livelihoods, identity from a man. We have come a long way but the #metoo movement is a reminder of how much we still have to gain- to be heard, listened to, respected & taken seriously. 3y

megnews @kspenmoll agreed! 3y

katy4peas That story about Lucy‘s neighbor girl and her drunk father. 🤬😢 I‘m so glad that we‘ve come much further than that even if we still have a far way to go. 3y

megnews @katy4peas oh yes! That‘s what started it all for Lucy. So sad and frustrating! 3y

#overbookedclub Remember this is just everyone‘s opinion 😊

kspenmoll, TheBookHippie, Birdsong28, Deblovestoread, sblbooks, Readswithcoffee, katy4peas

Deblovestoread I think Lucy had the wider world view due to her strong background condemning slavery. She could not turn her back on that fight while also fighting for women‘s rights. Susan and Elizabeth were focused on getting rights for women period. 3y

Readswithcoffee I was disappointed to learn that Susan was so focused on what she wanted that she didn‘t really care about any other issue. Perhaps that kind of single-mindedness is what it takes to effect change. 3y

sblbooks I'm team Lucy😀 3y

See All 13 Comments

megnews @sblbooks I‘m team Lucy as well. I think it shows a lot of integrity to stay true to a cause even if doing so might cost you. 3y

megnews @Readswithcoffee @Kdgordon88 @sblbooks while I applauded Lucy‘s commitment to abolition throughout, I could see Elizabeth and Susan‘s POV until they go involved with that racist guy (I can‘t recall his name) and defended him. They lost a lot of my respect at that point. 3y

Deblovestoread I‘m team Lucy as well. It‘s as if marriage and child negated everything she had done to further both causes. I was also disappointed to learn that Susan, who is revered, teamed up with a racist. It‘s any publicity is good publicity regardless of the harm it can cause. 3y

kspenmoll Lucy stayed her course, and seemed to have the bigger picture in mind. Also did not like Susan‘s distain of her marriage & having a child, & like all of you, could not understand their thinking in including a loud racist in their entourage when on the speaking circuit. 3y

megnews @Kdgordon88 @kspenmoll I could understand Susan voicing her concerns about the impact her marriage would have on the cause. But then be a friend and let it go! 3y

katy4peas I‘m team Lucy too. Of course, we are getting Lucy‘s side of the story, but I still like that she wanted to further two causes and not just one. 3y

Birdsong28 The cause of women and race relations are tied up with one another as like it is pointed out in the book that even if men get the vote that the slave women will still be won't be able to vote or be free so you need to advocate for both causes. I am team Lucy all the way as she can see the bigger pictures. 3y

Butterfinger Susan and Elizabeth sided with a racist right? Clearly this was everything against Lucy's beliefs. Wasn't Trane saying racist things? And they were also discriminating against uneducated people of color. I can never think of them in the same way again, but as I said earlier, I wasn't taught to honor Anthony anyway and now my mind is with my family's. 3y

megnews @Butterfinger yes, we‘ve been taught to honor them not knowing what they associated with. I didn‘t like to hear it. 3y

Butterfinger I just looked up the Woman's Bible. It was Stanton, not Anthony who wrote it. According to Wikipedia, this is what caused religious activists to leave. I don't remember anyone saying anything bad about Stanton though. I guess it was because Anthony was more vocal. 3y

Deblovestoread Harry certainly was a head of his time in building a contract to allow Lucy her rights to essentially be a free woman. His buying of additional real estate without consulting her was against the contract although it worked out in the end. Susan knew having children would change the amount of time Lucy could give to the cause and didn‘t want to lose all the momentum that would be lost without her voice. 3y

Readswithcoffee I think it is remarkable that she was able to find a man so open minded and bold enough to thwart the conventions of the day. They obviously struggled at times, but I feel it ultimately worked out. I‘m disappointed to learn that Susan was so discouraging of marriage. However, it is understandable that she wouldn‘t want to lose Lucy‘s talents. 3y

sblbooks Well, she didn't plan on having a daughter but that definitely worked out for the best. After reading this book, I found Susan B Anthony to be a disappointment. 3y

megnews @sblbooks right? And she‘s the one with the credit and a coin to show it! 3y

megnews @Kdgordon88 @Readswithcoffee I agree with you. It‘s amazing to now know the first woman who kept her last name. People were sure confused what to call her! I really loved her argument against paying taxes too. 3y

kspenmoll She was an original- in so many ways living what she believed. Keeping her name was unprecedented & look at the confusion & flap it created! Her marriage was an experiment at a time when women had no rights in a marriage so kudos to her husband. I had no idea of the relationship she had to Blackwell MDs. @megnews forgot about the coin & credit. Susan B Anthony was so intolerant in this book. Is Lucy inly lost to history because she was🔽 3y

kspenmoll Written out in E. Cady Stanton‘s history of Women book? I would like to look into that. 3y

megnews @kspenmoll I didn‘t know about the connection with the Blackwells either. It seems Stanton‘s book is likely the reason Lucy wasn‘t credited or included. I‘m curious about that book as well. Thanks for the reminder. I‘d forgotten to look into it. 3y

katy4peas @megnews I loved that argument, but the one where she had to decide to change her name or not vote for school board was heartbreaking! 😫 3y

katy4peas @sblbooks I didn‘t care for Susan either. 3y

katy4peas Harry was amazing and that he continued to pursue her. I thought they were a great match and that she should have let him help promote more. I‘m glad they ended up making up for their differences and loving each other again. I think Susan felt like E was already a lost cause since she was married when they found her, but Lucy wasn‘t and by marrying that changed things. It didn‘t really, but in Susan‘s mind it did. 3y

megnews @katy4peas I loved how her neighbors rallied and protested on her behalf though 3y

katy4peas @megnews yes, that was wonderful! 💕 3y

Birdsong28 It worked for her and what she had to achieve in her career even though I think at heart she wanted a conventional marriage but couldn't admit to it as it wouldn't fit in with her image that she had worked so hard to achieve. Which is very sad because she that is her whole life's work to be able to have whatever you want without being judged for it. 3y

Roary47 I‘m glad she allowed herself to be married. It was obvious that she cared for him and him her. The part where he brought their son back home was so heartwarming. Not everyone has to marry, but I‘m sure it was not easy for her either way. 3y

megnews @Birdsong28 @Roary47 I think her thought through process of the unconventional marriage shows how much women have to think about marriage/kids vs career in ways men never had to. In many ways this is still true today. 3y

Butterfinger My great grandmother never liked Susan B and now I wonder if it is because she put down women who put their families first. I think it had something to do with writing her own Bible though. I need to look more deeply into that, but Anthony was treated kin to the devil when I was growing up. 3y

megnews @Butterfinger I was 9 when my great grandma died. I wish I knew her thoughts about women‘s rights. I don‘t know if she ever even registered to vote. I did find another great grandmother‘s registration though. 3y

Butterfinger My great grandmother was just another grandparent. I was blessed to have them both till I was in my late 20s. We went to church with them and then I would spend the rest of Sunday with them. My great grandfather was able to meet my husband before he died and I have a picture of my Abby with my great grandmother. 5 generations of female and she voted every chance she could. But she didn't thank Anthony for that freedom. LOL!! 3y

Deblovestoread Although her father was a staunch abolitionist his view did not extend to the rights of women. To forge her path she needed to leave home. 3y

megnews @Kdgordon88 @sblbooks @Readswithcoffee I think Coy‘s Hill represented her father and she had to leave to accomplish her goals because he didn‘t support them. I agree with what you‘ve all said here. 3y

kspenmoll She had to leave behind her past, let go of her family, & defy her father, prove she could speak out & make her place in the wider world.agree with @sblbooks @megnews @Kdgordon88 @Readswithcoffee 3y

katy4peas It makes sense now that I‘ve read the book, but before that it didn‘t mean anything and didn‘t really pull me in either. Only after understanding that the title refers to Lucy‘s family home does the title make more sense. @Kdgordon88 @sblbooks @Readswithcoffee @kspenmoll @megnews 3y

Birdsong28 For me the title refers to how alot of herself is tide up in the land of Coy's Hill just like Scarlett O'Hara with Twelve Oaks in Gone With the Wind. As both characters feel that the land is their safe space and the that to achieve something they need to break away from the land and also that if the land does well so do they as most of their identity is tied up in the land. 3y

Readswithcoffee I must confess, I didn‘t know much about this subject so I was surprised at how much infighting there was amongst the various people working for voting rights. 3y

kspenmoll @Kdgordon88 I had not heard of her either. All the others I had learned about, the abolitionists & Susan B & Elizabeth C.S . The infighting I knew about- but mostly in context of violence v non violence, not other things. 3y

katy4peas Lucy‘s name was vaguely familiar to me, but I didn‘t really know who she was. It really surprised me about how she combined slaves‘ and women‘s‘ rights into her movement and about all of the infighting. Susan really surprised me too. I didn‘t really like her and yet we were taught that she was an amazing person. 🤷‍♀️ @Kdgordon88 @kspenmoll @Readswithcoffee @sblbooks @megnews 3y

katy4peas @Kdgordon88 invention of wings is wonderful. 3y

Roary47 I took a college course of women in history so I can‘t say that I was surprised, but I was impressed with her husband. I‘m happy that she was able to still do her work without him feeling like he had to “control” her. 3y

Butterfinger It surprised me that she married into Elizabeth Blackwell's family. I'm sort of glad she didn't take her husband's name. I liked how the book and Stone's character stresses the strengths of all women - whether they choose to be mother, professional, or both. 3y

I liked, but didn‘t love, this book and I‘m trying to figure out why. I found the subject matter - Lucy Stone, abolitionist & fighter for universal suffrage - to be very interesting. I learned a lot. I thought the interactions between Lucy and Susan B. Anthony were fascinating. However, the pacing of the story bogged down at times, particularly in the last several chapters. I wish I had read this instead of listening to the audiobook.

Readswithcoffee All that being said, I can think of several friends I would recommend read this! 3y

Very good. A powerful story based on the life of Lucy Stone a campaigner for Suffrage and the abolition of slavery in America in the late 1800's. It makes you see how far we have come but it also makes you see that even though progress has been made in what they were campaigning for actually hasn't been fully achieved in the sense of equality between the sexes and races.

I‘m always thrilled to read about my little town & so proud of its heritage, first to enroll African American students alongside whites & first African American female graduate. Above is a quote from Lucy‘s daughter. An Oberlin women‘s walking trail can be found below.
Oberlin was also the scene of a rescue of a runaway enslaved person being taken after the Fugitive Slave Act was enacted. I thought that was going to be the example in the book. ⬇️

I knew so little about Lucy Stone,an abolitionist & suffragette,for reasons I discovered while reading this book. Lucy‘s quest for women‘s rights during late 19th c into the 20th c lead her to ask the enduring question,”What kind of world are we sculpting,”…”if family was to be the enemy of work?Was there no way to have both?”

Why have I heard so little about Lucy Stone in regards to women‘s rights & equity issues?Tagged book inspired me to explore further.Apparently she was marginalized in a book Lucy Cady Stanton & Susan B Anthony & 2 others wrote,History of Women Suffrage.When Lucy supported the 15th amendment giving Black men the right to vote,the ladies parted ways.🔽

kspenmoll Stanton & Anthony thought the amendment should not be ratified unless women were included. I wonder how much life perspective/ experiences may have played into their differences. As Stone noted, she came from poor struggling farming family & worked to leave & put herself through school- the others came from monied backgrounds. Lots to chew over in this book. 3y

I copied this collage from the internet but for the tagged book.After speaking at a congressional hearing,the G sisters were banned from the Protestant church.A Pastoral Letter sent to them stated:”The power of woman is in her dependence…When she assumes the place and tone of man as a public reformer…she yields the power which God has given her for protection,and her character becomes unnatural.”Lucy Stone sees their lives as role models for her.
