Happy Birthday Lucretia

Today is the birthday of Lucretia Coffin Mott, one of my favorite women's rights advocates. Born in 1793, Mott, a Quaker, was an abolitionist and teacher. It was she who organized the Seneca Falls Convention with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, not Susan B. Anthony, as many people think. Like her fellow Capricorns she worked steadily to change the world.
