露克瑞蒂雅‧柯芬‧莫特 (Lucretia
Coffin Mott) 生於1793年1月3日
在那時候，女性不能投票，沒有自己的財產，也不能上大學。此外，男女生必須付相同的學費才能進入寄宿學校，但是在他們成為老師之後，女老師的薪水卻只有男老師的一半，莫特注意到這種不平等的情形。當她在1840年老遠跑到倫敦要參加「世界反奴隸會議」 (World
Anti-Slavery Conference) 的時候，卻被告知因為她是女性而不能參加，於是她投入更多的心力在這個議題之上。
In Mott's time, women couldn't vote, own property, or go to college. Mott noticed this inequality even as a girl in boarding school, where boys and girls had to pay the same to attend the school. However, once they became teachers, women were paid half as much as men. She doubled her efforts after 1840 when she traveled all the way to London for the World Anti-Slavery Conference only to be told she could not participate because she was a woman.
