Lucretia Mott from Gather Place
Sunday, March 22, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm in the Pearl S. Buck Room
On Sunday, March 22 from 2-3 p.m. you can step into the 19th century and meet Lucretia Mott—abolitionist, women’s rights pioneer, and proud figure with deep ties to Bucks County. In this first-person, costumed presentation, “Lucretia” shares her journey from Quaker upbringing to becoming one of America’s most influential reformers.
Lucretia Mott was known for co-organizing the first Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls in 1848, advocating for racial and gender equality, and challenging societal norms through powerful oratory and activism, also supporting education, temperance, and prison reform. She was a key figure in launching the women's rights movement and a strong voice for racial justice, even co-founding Swarthmore College as a co-
educational institution.
Lucretia will meet and greet you in the Pearl Buck Room of the
library. Several members of the Program Committee can attest to the high value of this presentation. Please register for this event at
