| Two years after the woman's rights convention at Seneca Falls, NY, Lucy Stone helped organize the first national meeting, which met in Worcester in 1850. Throughout the l850s, woman's rights supporters from around the country gathered annually. In 1855 they held their convention in Cincinnati. When a heckler jeered that the whole movement was the work of "a few disappointed women," Lucy Stone delivered one of the greatest speeches of her long career. She spoke without notes to a standing-room-only crowd. |
