Slavery And "The Woman Question: Lucretia Mott's Diary of Her Visit to Great Britain to Attend the World's Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840.
Edited by Frederick B. Tolles, Ph.D., supplement No. 23 to the Journal of the Friends' Historical Society (Haverford, PA and London: Friends' Historical Association and Friends Historical Society, 1952)
[Editorial Note: Historians, following the lead of Elizabeth Cady Stanton et al., have seen in the decision of the World Anti-Slavery Conference, held in London in 1840, to exclude women from serving as delegates the beginnings of the woman's rights movement in the United States. Lucretia Mott's Diary of her trip to London and of the controversies swirling around the convention's decision is, as a result, of more than a little interest. According to "Sketches of the Anti-Slavery Convention, No. VIII: Lucretia Mott" (reprinted from the Dublin Weekly Herald in The Liberator (October 23, 1840), Mott was "the Lioness of the Convention," even though she was not allowed to participate in its deliberations. Mott's diary contains a number of references to Elisabeth [Mott's spelling] Stanton but no account of the conversations recorded in Stanton's History of the Suffrage Movement in the course of which, Stanton claimed, she and Mott first discussed the possibility of a woman's rights movement modelled upon the Anti-Slavery movement.]
