Lucretia Mott (1793-1880)

"As a Quaker, she believed all people were equal. She was a preacher and well-regarded public speaker for the abolitionist cause. As Elizabeth Cady Stanton's mentor, she remained a leader in the women's suffrage movement throughout her long life and cofounded Swarthmore College for women and men." David Roberts, Suffragette: the Battle for Equality
