Dr. Elizabeth C. Stevens, the editor of Rhode Island History magazine, offers a scholarly depiction of a mother and daughter whose activism for human rights spanned the nineteenth century, across the pre-Civil War anti-slavery and the Gilded Age women's rights movements. This biography of two Rhode Island Quaker activists was also the subject of Dr. Stevens' dissertation at Brown University that she finished a decade before. The memory of Elizabeth Buffum Chace, co-founder of the Rhode Island Woman Suffrage Association, is honored with a bronze bust in the Rhode Island State House.
