Lucretia Mott, American Abolitionist and Social Reformer

Lucretia Coffin Mott (January 3, 1793 - November 11, 1880) was an American Quaker, abolitionist, women's rights activist, and social reformer. In 1833, her husband helped found the American Anti-Slavery Society.  In 1848 Mott and Stanton organized a women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York. After the Civil War, Mott was elected the first president of the American Equal Rights Association, an organization that advocated universal suffrage. She seldom wrote anything for publication. Yet her speaking abilities made her an important abolitionist, feminist, and reformer. Photographed by Frederick Gutekunst, 1862 (cropped and cleaned).
