Summary:

Lucretia Coffin Mott was an abolitionist and suffragette who fought for seven decades for peace and civil rights. An outspoken, anti-slavery orator, Lucretia was denied entrance at the World Anti-Slavery Conference in London because she was a woman. Segregated into side-seating, she befriended women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, becoming a collaborator in the Seneca Falls Convention and co-authoring the Declaration of Sentiments. Lucretia was President of the first-ever Equal Rights Association. We stand on the shoulders of this titan. Listen to her story, told by her descendant, Claire Gerety-Mott.
