Mott was successful in her abolitionist lobbying 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 instrumental in the first women rights meeting, the "[Seneca Falls Convention]?" in [Seneca Falls]?, New York in 1848. While [Elizabeth Cady Stanton]? and Susan B. Anthony are usually credited as the leaders of that effort, it was Mott's mentoring of Stanton and their work together that organized the event. Mott parted with the mainstream women's movement in one area, that of divorce. At that time it was very difficult to obtain divorce, and father's got custody. She remained a central figure in the women's movement as a peace maker, a critical function for that period of the movement, until her death in 1880. |
