A Quaker, Mott was "one of the most prominent women in the abolition movement, she was also a founder of the first women's movement." After Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were refused recognition at the World's Anti-Slavery in London, England in 1840, they resolved to return home to the US and establish an independent woman's movement. Mott was active on the Underground Railroad and founded the first Female Anti-Slavery Society. She, along with Eliz. Cady Stanton, called the first Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848.
A year after the first woman suffrage convention, Mott here gives a lecture on her religious beliefs as they affect her anti-slavery work.
