Lucretia Mott
Lucretia Coffin Mott was an American Quaker, abolitionist, social reformer, and proponent of women's rights. She is credited as the first American "feminist" in the early 1800s but was, more accurately, the initiator of women's political advocacy.
“In the true married relationship, the independence of husband and wife will be equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal.”
Lucretia Mott
“The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.”
Lucretia Mott
