Lucretia Mott

Lucretia Mott was the first major women's activist in early 1800's America and is credited as the first "feminist", but more accurately, the launcher of women's advocacy. She was a Quaker and it was Quaker men that led up the abolitionist movement in the very early 1800's. In the 1820's, Lucretia Mott was one of the first Quaker women allowed by the Quaker Men to do advocacy work for abolition. She was successful and punctuated her career with teaching the ropes of representative government's political advocacy to women comming up as women's and abolitionist advocates. She was instrumentaly in the first women rights meeting in Seneca Falls, but [Elizabeth Cady Stanton]? and Susan B. Anthony were the leaders. She died in 1849.
