(a) Portrait of unidentified woman. (b) Portrait of Mary A. Livermore, abolitionist, suffragist, and temperance worker, 1821-1905. Mary A. Livermore made her first speech for suffrage in May 1869, in Boston. She was the woman who then said, "Why don't these brothers of ours call us, the reserves, into action? We could help them." This same cry was echoed by women of all countries in the Great War of 1914-1918. But it was first said by Mrs. Livermore who had been a famous nurse during the Civil War. Mrs. Livermore, who had published the "Agitator" in Chicago, went to Boston in 1870 as one of the editors of the Woman's Journal, with Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell. Assitant editors were Julia Ward Howe, William Lloyd Garrison, and Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson. One of Mrs. Livermore's greatest tasks was her report of the sanitary work done by women in the war. Through their patriotic services to the soldiary in the Civil War the United States first realized women's talent for administering great enterprises. (c) Unidentified group portrait. (d) Lucy Stone, founder of "the Woman's Journal" in 1870 and its editor in chief for many years. (e) Henry Blackwell.
