Blackwell, Antoinette Louisa Brown

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.09 sec.

Blackwell, Antoinette Louisa Brown (1825-1921)

US Congregational minister, author, and feminist. Blackwell was not awarded the theology degree that she studied for at Oberlin College because she was a woman. After lecturing on women's rights, she was allowed ordination by the First Congregational Church (1853), becoming the first American women to be ordained in an established Protestant denomination. Blackwell soon resigned, however, and became a Unitarian, serving as a Unitarian pastor from 1908 to 1915.
