Lucy, the niece of Susan B. Anthony, and the trusted partner and spouse of Anna Howard Shaw was committed to gaining more rights for women. Some may argue that she was lost in the shadows of her aunt and her partner, but she was well-regarded in the circles that Anna, Lucy, and Susan were in. Anna and Lucy were together for 30 years until Anna's death in 1919.

In her will, Lucy left a bulk of estate to the National League of Women Voters, Philadelphia League of Voters, and her family.
