Ed took this great photo of Lucy Stone<\/a> with Abigail Adams<\/a> in the background at the beginning of one of last month's snowstorms. We saved it to remind our readers that March is National Women's History Month.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are three quotes from Lucy Stone (1818-1893):<\/h2>\n
\n

"I expect to plead not for the slave only, but for suffering humanity everywhere. Especially do I mean to labor for the elevation of my sex."<\/em><\/p>\n

"I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned." <\/em><\/p>\n

"Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things." <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
