Lucretia Mott's Heresy by Carol FaulknerCall Number: eBook
Publication Date: 2011
Faulkner reveals the motivations of this radical egalitarian from Nantucket, who was often overshadowed by other prominent figures. Mott's deep faith and ties to the Society of Friends do not fully explain her activism--her roots in post-Revolutionary New England also shaped her views on slavery, patriarchy, and the church, as well as her expansive interests in peace, temperance, prison reform, religious freedom, and Native American rights.
