Mott, Lucretia, 1793-1880
Lucretia Mott (née Coffin) was born Jan. 3, 1793 in Nantucket, MA. She was a descendent of Peter Folger and Mary Morrell Folger and a cousin of Framer Benjamin Franklin. Mott became a teacher; her interest in women's rights began when she discovered that male teachers at the school were paid significantly more than female staff.
A well known abolitionist, Mott considered slavery to be evil, a Quaker view. When she moved to Philadelphia, she became Quaker minister. Along with white and black women, Mott helped found the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society. She attended all three national Anti-Slavery Conventions of American Women (1837, 1838, 1839). In June 1840, Mott and her husband attended the General Anti-Slavery Convention, better known as the World's Anti-Slavery Convention, in London, England, even though she was not allowed to vote. It was there she started a friendship with Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
