There are few people who can compare women's leadership in the history of Lucy Stone and women's rights with the determination and success of Lucy Stone. Many people remember that Elizabeth Cardiffon and Susan B. Anthony are the most active female rights fighter, but Stone is more important. The main goal of women during this period was to acquire women's voting rights. This is what many people remember at Seneca Falls' conference or related to it. However, Stone not only attempted to acquire women's voting rights but also provided women with other rights that they did not have at the moment.

At the AWSA meeting in October 1887, Lucy Stone proposed that the two organizations consider mergers. In December, groups including women from Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Alice Stone Blackwell (daughter of Lucy Stone), and Rachel Foster were gathered. In the second year, NWSA celebrated 40th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Conference and invited to AWSA. The first president was elected Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and vice president Susan B. Anthony. Lucy Stone was elected chairman of the executive committee. Stanton 's elections were mostly symbolic as they spent the United Kingdom for two years after the election. Anthony is the de facto head of the organization

In 1876, under the spirit of the National Centennial Celebration, Stanton and Susan B. Anthony decided to write a wider history of women's rights movement. They invited Lucy Stone to help but Stone refused to be part of the project; she did not fairly explain the differences between Stanton and Anthony with NWSA and the American Women Voting Rights Association (AWSA) I thought. Stanton and Anthony wrote without her and announced the first volume of women's election history in 1881, left stony's contributions and put themselves at every important event.
