Provided by Wikipedia
Lucretia Mott
(née
Coffin
; January 3, 1793 – November 11, 1880) was an American
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 amongst the women excluded from the
World Anti-Slavery Convention
held in London in 1840. In 1848, she was invited by
Jane Hunt
to a meeting that led to the first public gathering about women's rights, the
Seneca Falls Convention
, during which the
Declaration of Sentiments
was written.
Her speaking abilities made her an important abolitionist, feminist, and reformer; she had been a Quaker preacher early in her adulthood. She advocated giving black people, both male and female, the
right to vote
(suffrage). Her home with James was a stop on the
Underground Railroad
. Mott helped found the
Female Medical College of Pennsylvania
and
Swarthmore College
and raised funds for the
Philadelphia School of Design for Women
. She remained a central figure in reform movements until her death in 1880. The area around her long-time residence in
Cheltenham Township
is now known as
La Mott
, in her honor.
