Lucretia Mott

Lucretia Mott (née Coffin; January 3, 1793 – November 11, 1880) is a U.S. Quaker, abolitionist, women's rights activist, and social reformer.

She had formed the idea of reforming the position of women in society when she was among the women excluded from the World Anti-Slavery Convention in 1840

In 1848 she is invited by Jane Hunt to a meeting that leads to the first meeting about women's rights.

Mott helps write the Declaration of Sentiments during the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention.

Her speaking abilities make her an important abolitionist, feminist, and reformer.

When slavery is outlawed in 1865, she advocates giving former slaves who had been bound to slavery laws within the boundaries of the United States, whether male or female, the right to vote.

She remains a central figure in the abolition and suffrage movement until her death in 1880.

Mott is a Quaker preacher early in her adulthood.
