Mr. Henry Blackwell
i named him Blackwell in honor of a dear friend, but also for Lucy Stone's husband, Henry Blackwell. he proposed to her after hearing one of her angriest speeches and--when she refused him on the grounds that marriage was an unequal institution that would limit her personal freedom--funded a national speaking tour for her as a form of courtship. when they married, they read a list of grievances against the institution rather than vows. honestly, where's my romance novel about those two.
