The literary style is both engaging and scholarly, reflecting the author's deep understanding of the historical milieu that shaped Stone's activism, as well as the broader women's rights movement during a transformative era in American history. Alice Stone Blackwell, a prominent journalist, and social reformer herself, was closely connected to the suffrage movement through her familial ties; she was the daughter of Lucy Stone. This personal connection undoubtedly informed her portrayal of Stone's pivotal role in advocating for women's rights.
