Lucretia Coffin Mott
My name is Lucretia Coffin Mott and what I'm trying to do is reform woman's along with slave's rights. I've traveled throughout the East and Midwest addressing organizations.

" It talks about the educational, economic, and political restrictions on women in Western Europe and America. Once we arrived we found out they were having a debate on whether woman should attend.
