EDITED BY BEVERLY WILSON-PALMER
The correspondence of the Quaker activist Lucretia Mott, these letters illustrate the length and breadth of her public life as a leading reformer while providing an intimate glimpse of her family life. Dedicated to reform of almost every kind, temperance, peace, equal rights, woman suffrage, nonresistance, and the abolition of slavery, Mott viewed women's rights as only one element of reform for American society. A founder and leader of many antislavery organizations, she housed fugitive slaves, maintained lifelong friendships with such African-American colleagues as Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, and agitated to bring her fellow Quakers to take a stand against slavery.
