Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, VII: the free church (search)
hat lonely life of hers, nothing in history more so. . . . I spent several hours with her in Boston last week. . . . She said, You will laugh when I tell you what I came to Boston for, to buy a wedding dress and to put my little property into the hands of trustees, so that my husband shall not control it; think what a thing that is, for a woman to have to do! But I am determined that it shall be held by a married woman in some way, so my sister is a trustee. Then she added, Harry says (Mr. Blackwell) that I ought to be very thankful that a woman has thus much freedom, but that is like telling a fugitive slave to be thankful there is a Canada, when he knows he ought to be free without going there. Mr. Higginson officiated at the wedding and heartily approved the protest made by the newly married pair against the existing laws which did not allow a married woman to own even her own wardrobe. This protest was read and signed as a part of the ceremony. One of the many instances

et morsel. Was busy all day — farewell calls from friends, little talks, and the fear of sitting down and forgetting my preparations in my books. In the evening the Gautiers came and I played for them to dance. So, one last little gayety in common. Sunday, April 7. Got up at 4 A. M. Dressed and got off pretty easily.... The parting from Maud was very hard. Oh! when the line was drawn in, and my darling and I were fairly sundered, my old heart gave way, and I cried bitterly.... Henry Blackwell is a dear, comforting man, most kind and companionable. A woman on board with a wretched baby of six months, he in a muslin gown and nothing else, crying with cold. I got out a cotton flannel dressing-sack, and wrapped him up in it and tended him a good deal.... May the purpose for which I undertake this painful and solitary journey be ever strong enough in my thoughts to render every step of it pure, blameless and worthy. Great God, do not let me desert thee! For that is the tr

of civil and religious liberty. I am sure that if we do so, we shall have behind us, and with us, that great spirit which has been in the world for nineteen centuries past, with ever-increasing power. Let us set up in these distant lands the shelter of the blessed Cross, and of all that it stands for, and let us make it availing once and forever. Soon after this the Friends of Armenia organized as a society, she being its president. Among its members were William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Blackwell and his devoted daughter Alice, and M. H. Gulesian. Singly or in company they went about, through Massachusetts, holding meetings, rousing the people to aid in the protest of Christendom against heathendom, of mercy against cruelty. Spoke for Armenia, is a frequent entry in the Journal of these days. In one of these addresses she said:-- It may be asked, where is the good of our assembling here? what can a handful of us effect against this wicked and remorseless power, so far b
