Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to admit women alongside men. Several of the nation’s future suffrage leaders attended Oberlin, including Lucy Stone, one of the founders of the American Woman Suffrage Association.

In 1847, Stone was invited to write a commencement speech for her graduating class. Although Stone would've authored the address, a man would have read it since it was considered improper for women to speak in public. She refused to write the speech. Stone later graduated and enjoyed a successful career in public speaking.

Springtime is right around the corner.
Each spring many people go to their local farm stores and order chickens. Having a flock of chickens for pioneer families was important. It provided a means to make money (by selling the eggs) and providing a food source for the family.
In the book "Little Town on the Prairie" we read early on that Mrs. Boast is setting a hen for the Ingalls'. Later on we learn that the chickens have hatched.
"Boast brought em in today," said Pa. "Fourteen of em, all healthy and thriving."
Ma was delighted when she saw them. Carrie and Grace crowded to peep at them in the basket, and Laura told Mary about them. They were healthy, lively chicks, with bright black eyes and bright yellow claws. They were every color that chickens are, and some were spotted.
Have you ever raised chickens? If so what was your favorite breed of chicken?
