Now overshadowed by abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mott was viewed in her time as a dominant figure in the dual struggles for racial and sexual equality. History has often depicted her as a gentle Quaker lady and a mother figure, but her outspoken challenges to authority riled ministers, journalists, politicians, urban mobs, and her fellow Quakers. In the first biography of Mott in a generation, historian Carol Faulkner reveals the motivations of this radical egalitarian from Nantucket. 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. While Mott was known as the "moving spirit" of the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, her commitment to women's rights never trumped her support for abolition or racial equality. She envisioned women's rights not as a new and separate movement but rather as an extension of the universal principles of liberty and equality. Mott was among the first white Americans to call for an immediate end to slavery. Her long-term collaboration with white and black women in the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society was remarkable by any standards. Lucretia Mott's Heresy reintroduces readers to an amazing woman whose work and ideas inspired the transformation of American society. Review: great - c Review: An Overlooked Figure in Abolition & Women's Rights... - Lucretia Mott's just as important to the women's right movement of the 1800s as Elizabeth Stanton & Susan B. Anthony. Yet she is largely overshadowed by these two. For those for want to know more about Mott, this is an excellent bio. After a brief history on Nantucket where she was born, one's given a full look on Mott's life- from her growing up on the Massachusetts controlled island to her lifelong marriage to James Motts who also became a part of the abolition (both were Quakers which were the 1st religious group to condemn slavery) & later woman's right movement. Mott was a controversial figure in her lifetime- maybe because of her views on race relations- she didn't just support ending slavery, but granting full rights to former slaves- something that wasn't support by the White Mainstream at that time. She's also somewhat different from the other feminists of her time-her believe in total sexual equality & discomfort in organized woman's rights groups. Maybe this is the reason why she's largely ignored today. Hopefully this book will help change that & put her back in the ranks of Stanton & Anthony where she belongs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #901,878 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #386 in U.S. Abolition of Slavery History #1,418 in Historical British Biographies #2,645 in Discrimination & Racism | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 31 Reviews | ## Images ![Lucretia Mott's Heresy: Abolition and Women's Rights in Nineteenth-Century America - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PorUlSYyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great *by K***R on January 5, 2026* c ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Overlooked Figure in Abolition & Women's Rights... *by D***8 on March 3, 2012* Lucretia Mott's just as important to the women's right movement of the 1800s as Elizabeth Stanton & Susan B.

It's a fascinating window into the Quaker world leading up to the Civil War and beyond. The personal details, including Mott's embrace of the spiritualist movement, and the political details, such as the tensions between anti-slavery and the women's movement, really make the century come alive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/8954405-lucretia-motts-heresy-abolition-and-womens-rights-in-nineteenth-century](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/8954405-lucretia-motts-heresy-abolition-and-womens-rights-in-nineteenth-century) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
