During the 1850s, men consolidated their place as legitimate actors in the women’s rights movement. In the debates that divided the movement during the decade, however, they were not a stabilizing force. Like women, they disagreed on several issues that came to tear the movement even further apart after the Civil War, including marriage, intersections of race and gender, and . . . men’s role in the movement. Foster and Blackwell understood their roles as personal and political allies differently. Foster became his daughter’s primary caretaker due to his wife’s absences, his own predisposition, and his work on their farm, which required his presence at home. Blackwell was frequently absent in the first years of his marriage to Stone and he tried to make up for his lack of support at home by defending women’s rights publicly and insisting on men’s crucial voice in the fight, an inconsistency which gradually alienated him from some women’s rights activists after the Civil War. Unresolved questions around the articulation between blacks’ and women’s rights as well as allies’ role marred the feminist movement after the Civil War.
