Lucretia Mott
("Lucretia")
Mott was a women's rights activist who strongly opposed slavery. She united with Stanton for the Seneca Falls Convention after she and her husband went to the World's Anti-Slavery Convention in London. When they got there, Stanton and Mott could not attend because women were not allowed to be full participants ("Lucretia Mott").

" 'When I first heard from her lips that I had the same right to think for myself that Luther, Calvin, and Knox had, and the same right to be guided by my own convictions, I felt at once a newborn sense of dignity and freedom.' " -Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Elizabeth Cady Stanton; pt. 2)
