We walk through the life and legacy of one of America's greatest women, Maria Stewart. She's the first known American woman to speak to a mixed audience of men and women, white and black. SSe was also the first African-American woman to make public lectures, as well as to lecture about women's rights and make a public anti-slavery speech
