Biographical Text

Alice Stone Blackwell, a journalist and woman's suffrage activist, was the daughter of famed suffrage leaders Henry Browne Blackwell and Lucy Stone. Blackwell attended Boston University, and after graduation was editor-in-chief of the suffrage paper, The Woman's Journal. Blackwell was instrumental in bringing together the American Woman Suffrage Association and National Woman Suffrage Association to become the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). She served as NAWSA's recording secretary from 1890 to 1908, and as a national auditors from 1909 to 1910. She was active in the New England and Massachusetts Woman Suffrage associations, and named honorary president of the Massachusetts League of Women Voters. Blackwell was a member of other reform movements as well, including the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom in Boston. In the 1890s, Blackwell was also a published poet, and translator of poetry, including those written by Armenian refugees.

She died in 1950.
