This biography, the first in thirty years, focuses on Mott's long and controversial public career as an abolitionist, women's rights activist, and Quaker minister.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is the first biography of Mott in thirty years, and it proves to be thoroughly researched, well written, and fascinating. Faulkner's accessible writing style makes this book appropriate for any reader interested in women's history generally or the history of the U.S. abolitionist and women's suffrage movements.\" * \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Mott did not make her biographer's task easy; except for a three- month period in 1840, she kept no diary, and although, like her compatriot Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she often spoke publicly, unlike Stanton, she seldom wrote for publication. Faulkner has more than met the challenge; her book is interesting and well written, offering fresh perspectives at every turn on Mott's roles within Quakerism and the antislavery and women's rights movements while also providing glimpses of her personal life. . . . With this timely book, Faulkner makes a compelling case for Mott's contemporary significance.\" * \u003ci\u003eJournal of American History\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"This much-needed, coherently argued, and beautifully written biography does justice to Mott's centrality to the history of antislavery, woman's rights, Quakerism, and Philadelphia.\" * Lori D.

Anthony. Sophisticated, lively, direct, and often riveting, Lucretia Mott's Heresy will be the definitive biography of Mott for decades to come.\" * Bruce Dorsey, author of \u003ci\u003eReforming Men and Women: Gender in the Antebellum City\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Heretic and Saint\u003cbr\u003e 1 Nantucket\u003cbr\u003e 2 Nine Partners\u003cbr\u003e 3 Schism\u003cbr\u003e 4 Immediate Abolition\u003cbr\u003e 5 Pennsylvania Hall\u003cbr\u003e 6 Abroad\u003cbr\u003e 7 Crisis\u003cbr\u003e 8 The Year 1848\u003cbr\u003e 9 Conventions\u003cbr\u003e 10 Fugitives\u003cbr\u003e 11 Civil War\u003cbr\u003e 12 Peace\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Gallery appears after page 108\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405701587287,"sku":"9780812222791","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780812222791.jpg?v=1730493329","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lucretia-motts-heresy-9780812222791","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
