Boston orator Maria W. Stewart (née Miller), 28, addresses a crowd at Franklin Hall and becomes the first US woman to deliver a political speech in public before a mixed audience comprised of blacks and whites of both sexes. She will lecture at the meetinghouse for the next 2 years, mostly on the rights of her fellow black Americans, and her talks to the African-American Female Intelligence Society of America will be published, first in the Liberator and then in pamphlets.

Sunshine for Women encourages you to support our feminist sisters by purchasing their books, reading them, disseminating the ideas they contain, but most especially, by making their book available to our sisters, our daughters, and the community at large by requesting your school library, your public library, and area bookstores to carry their books. Remember it is not enough to write literature, history, and theology, we must pass these works on to future generations. Help us to preserve these works for a new generation by putting them on library bookshelves.
