An illustrated biography for children features Lucretia Mott, one of the pioneers of the movement for womens' rights. Born in 1793, Lucretia Mott was raised a Quaker; her strong spiritual beliefs underlay her outspoken advocacy of equal rights for women and blacks, and against war. Lucretia became a leader among those who wished to abolish slavery; she was regarded as an uncommonly powerful orator. Lucretia Mott spoke and wrote on behalf of equal rights for women too, for much of her life; she was an organizer and leading speaker at the first Women's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. A statue of Lucretia Mott, along with those of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is housed today in the U.S. Capitol. A message from First Lady Rosalynn Carter precedes the biography. (DB)
