Lucretia Coffin Mott Was Born
January 3, 1793
Lucretia Coffin Mott, along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, launched the woman suffrage movement, calling for women's equal rights in the Declaration of Sentiments of 1848. Within her lifetime, women came to own their own property and be admitted into some colleges. Women finally won the right to vote in 1920, 40 years after her death in 1880.
