How to Pronounce Lucinda Lee Dalton
Mormon suffragist and early feminist

#50

Lucinda Lee Dalton (born Lucinda Lee; February 9, 1847 – November 24, 1925) was a Utah teacher, and suffragist.
She shared her views through essays and poems published in the Women's Exponent, a periodical for Latter-day Saint women. Raised by Mormon parents and devout to the faith, Dalton was a feminist; as a child, she felt jealous of boys for the freedom and privileges they enjoyed and felt that girls were neglected by the education system.
She became a women's rights activist, believing that women should have the right to suffrage, education, property, control over their money, and custody of their children.
As a teacher, she advocated for equal educational and recreational opportunities for girls. Dalton supported polygamy, arguing that it allowed more women to marry whom she deemed the few "good men", and bore six children with her husband Charles, who married her as his fourth wife.
Her writings have been noted by critics for poetically conveying the role and struggles of Mormon women in her time.
