I was really surprised when I read this document. I agree that it was nice to see the woman "protest" taking her husband's name but that was the very minimum that she was protesting. The document also goes on to state that she had a problem with her husband having “custody of the wife’s person.” and the control of the children. So while the main thing that is taken away from this her not wanting to take the name, I think that it was much bigger. –Kayle P | I was really surprised when I read this document.

| + | After reading this I feel like Stone and Blackwell really embraced the free and equal lifestyle that they demonstrated through their abolitionist protest. Like many of the women in the Jeffrey's article this one demonstrates the full extent of equality women were able to obtain during this time. It also shows the changing mindset of men as Blackwell encouraged and agreed with all of this which for many men would be seen as a hit on their identity as a man. Although, this example is an extreme it shows the possibilities for women that Jeffreys discussed. -- Rachel T. | ||
