6. SUMMARY REVIEW Claire Boiko’s drama Lucy Stone Champion of Women’s Rights depicts the theme that equality will always win out against prejudice. This theme is developed throughout the text with examples of how women during the 1800s were treated and how they had to overcome stereotypes by both men and women. For example, on page 837 Aunt Sally comments how “all that fire and spunk wasted on a girl. What a pity you weren’t a boy.” This illustrated that Lucy’s talents, while admirable, would only be viewed as positives if they were possessed by a man. She encounters prejudice against her gender by men as well as seen in the Bible scene with her brother on page 838. She continues to be bombarded with messages that her talents are wasted and she could conquer the world—if only she were a boy. The epitome of her overcoming the prejudiced message that she is unequal because she is a woman comes to peak after her father agrees to pay for her brothers to go to college, paying for the books, and other expenses, but she must beg for tuition only and repay him every cent as seen on page 840.
