Short biography
Sarah Pellet (1824-1898) grew up as a neighbor of Lucy Stone and followed her to Oberlin, where she completed her studies in 1851 and earned her degree in 1858. For several years after college she lived in New York and studied theology. She attended the women's temperance meeting at Seneca Falls in 1852, and joined Susan B Anthony in campaigns for woman's rights, before going to California in the fall of 1854 to lecture for two years. Later she taught school and worked for a time as a reporter. (Woman's Journal, 28 May 1898;Lasser and Merrill, Friends and Sisters, 26-29, 122, 125, 142.)
