- Abstract
The article discusses women's rights advocate Antoinette Brown, who married abolitionist and suffrage activist Samuel Blackwell. The equality that the Blackwell's enjoyed in their marriage is considered. Brown's education at what was then called the Oberlin Collegiate Institute is described, particularly the way that education for men and women was separated and the rule against allowing women students to speak in class. Brown's efforts to study theology (she would, in 1879, receive a degree from Oberlin for theological coursework that she completed in 1850) and to become an ordained minister and her work in the suffrage movement are discussed. Popular conceptions about the private and public sphere and the roles of women in the 19th century are considered.
