She became one of its most prominent and vocal advocates, continuing so until the emancipation. She helped form the American Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia and, later, was active in founding female anti-slavery organizations. She traveled extensively throughout New England, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and Indiana, where she did not refrain from denouncing slavery. When attending the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840, she was denied membership because she was a woman. Eventually, she took part in establishing women's rights journals in England and France, and contributed her talents in furthering that cause in the United States.Educated in Boston, Lucretia Mott became a teacher at the age of fifteen. Eight years later after moving to Philadelphia, she took charge of a small school in that city. After a year she appeared in the ministry of the Society of Friends, and was soon acclaimed for the clarity and eloquence of her presentations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eShe helped form the first Woman's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848 to improve the legal and political status of women.
