露克瑞蒂雅．柯芬．莫特 (Lucretia
Coffin Mott) 生于1793年1月3日
在那时候，女性不能投票，没有自己的财产，也不能上大学。此外，男女生必须付相同的学费才能进入寄宿学校，但是在他们成为老师之后，女老师的薪水却只有男老师的一半，莫特注意到这种不平等的情形。当她在1840年老远跑到伦敦要参加「世界反奴隶会议」 (World
Anti-Slavery Conference) 的时候，却被告知因为她是女性而不能参加，于是她投入更多的心力在这个议题之上。
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.
