About this product

Product Information

Born the last of twelve children in Hinesburg, Vermont in 1814. Loved academia - her favorite subject was Greek; this endeared her to James Stone, her Hinesburg Academy teacher and future husband. Taught at Kalamazoo College, MI from 1843 to 1863. James, her husband was the president of the college and taught the men, while Lucinda taught the women. Their influence was profound: the enrollment increased fourfold during their tenure and visiting lecturers included: Emerson, Longfellow, and Fredrick Douglass. Survived accusations against her husband for immoral behavior in 1863; the ensuing trial by the Baptist to prove him guilty, and the resultant civil lawsuit against the accusers which eventually awarded the Stones some $90,000. Lucinda founded the Ladies Library Association in Kalamazoo that had a subsidiary called the Ladies' Library Club. Served as president and lectured with classes on topics of the day for women who were starved for knowledge; and she later founded similar clubs for women throughout the state of Michigan. Perhaps most importantly, she led eight study tours for American young ladies around Britain and Europe from the late 1860s to 1888. Each study tour lasted one to one and a half years. The girls heard Gladstone and Disraeli in Parliament; listed to Victor Hugo gave a funeral oration; met Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, on top of the Great Pyramid and discussed coeducation with him. She also attended a party in Athens given by Schliemann, discoverer of Troy, in 1888 that was given in honor of Fredrick Douglas and his wife. Convinced the University of Michigan to admit its first woman in 1870. As a result she was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan twenty years later. Lucinda Stone gave her life to the advancement of women in America and earned a place for herself in this country's history.
