The book Lucretia Mott 1793-1880 by John Greenleaf Whittier is a biography of the life and accomplishments of Lucretia Mott. Mott was a Quaker minister, abolitionist, and women's rights activist who lived during the 19th century. Whittier's book explores Mott's early life as a Quaker in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and her eventual move to Philadelphia, where she became involved in the abolitionist and women's rights movements.Throughout the book, Whittier describes Mott's tireless work as an advocate for social justice, including her involvement in the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, which was one of the first women's rights conventions in the United States. He also discusses her role in the Underground Railroad, where she helped to shelter and transport escaped slaves to freedom.In addition to her activism, Whittier also delves into Mott's personal life, including her marriage to fellow Quaker James Mott and their family life together. He also explores the challenges that Mott faced as a woman in a male-dominated society, and how she overcame these obstacles to become one of the most influential women in American history.Overall, Lucretia Mott 1793-1880 is a comprehensive and engaging biography that offers readers a deeper understanding of Mott's life and legacy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the abolitionist and women's rights movements, as well as the life of one of America's most inspiring social justice advocates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
