 * Lucretia Mott **

**This whole week I have researched a women named Lucretia Mott. Lucretia Mott was born on January 3, 1793, in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Lucretia lived in Boston, Massachusetts most of her life. Lucretia was an abolitionist. An abolitionist is a reformer who began to push for the end of slavery. Mott died on November 11, 1880, in Abington, PA. Before she died Lucretia was free from slavery because, she never was a slave. Lucretia Mott’s father was the master of whaling ships and her mother was a store keeper. One of Her sisters named Sarah was handicap. Lucretia had six children, and one of them died at the age of five. ** **Lucretia Mott was very educated. At the age of thirteen she attended Nine Partners Quaker Boarding School in New York State. She married James Mott in 1811 and they went to live in Philadelphia. In 1812 she became a Quaker minister because, of her speaking abilities. Lucretia and James Mott attended the World’s Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840 to show that they were against slavery. After that, Lucretia joined Elizabeth Cady Stanton in calling the famous Seneca Falls Convention in New York in 1848. ** **A quote from Lucretia Mott was “In a true marriage relation the independence of the husband and the wife is equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal. I think that this quote means that the husbands and wife’s independence, dependence and obligations should all be the same. I think this because, the words equal, mutual and reciprocal means the same. I think Lucretia said this because, maybe her and her husband probably had some disagreements. The equal rights amendment was named after Lucretia Mott. I am proud of Lucretia Mott because, she was against slavery not with it. She played her role very well and when she died she left a great legacy ****﻿. **
