    Lucretia Mott once said, “There is nothing of greater importance to the well-being of society at large- of man as well as woman- than the true proper position of woman.” To me, this is a very powerful quote, meaning that the woman’s position in society is just as important as a man’s position. In addition to being an abolitionist, these are both beliefs that Lucretia Mott firmly stood behind. On January 3, 1793 on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, a girl named Lucretia Mott was born.…
