Hannah More
b. 2-2-1745; England
d. 9-7-1833

Hannah More, a teacher, religious writer, philanthropist and social reformer, was one of the most influential women of her day. She associated with the intellectual society of England: actor and playwright David Garrick, painter Joshua Reynolds, Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Elizabeth Montagu (Blue Stocking Society); later she influenced abolitionist William Wilberforce. She was accused of “Methodist” tendencies for teaching farm children to read because workers who could read would would leave the farms and that would be "fatal to agriculture".

Greg Mortenson
b. 12-27-1957; St. Cloud, MN

Greg Mortenson is the author of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission To Promote Peace... One School At A Time. He is the co-founder (with Dr. Jean Hoerni) and director of the non-profit Central Asia Institute (CAI), and the founder of the educational charity Pennies For Peace.

Greg Mortenson quote ~
• “Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in cities. But the girls stay home, become leaders in the community and pass on what they've learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.”

Lucretia Mott (née Coffin)
b. 1-3-1793; Nantucket, MA
d. 11-11-1880

Lucretia Mott was educated at a Quaker boarding school and eventually became a teacher, minister and abolitionist. She was drawn to activism when she discovered the male teachers were paid twice as much as the women teachers.

Mott, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was a principal organizer of the first women's rights convention held in Seneca Falls, NY., and a signer of the Declaration of Sentiments. She was also an abolitionist and one of the founders of Swarthmore College in 1864.

Lucretia Mott and Levi Coffin, known as the "President of the Underground Railroad”, were cousins.

Lucretia Mott quotes ~
• “It is not Christianity, but priestcraft that has subjected woman as we find her.”
• “The cause of Peace has had my share of efforts, taking the ultra non-resistance ground - that a Christian cannot consistently uphold, and actively support, a government based on the sword, or whose ultimate resort is to the destroying weapons.”
• “It is time that Christians were judged more by their likeness to Christ than their notions of Christ. Were this sentiment generally admitted we should not see such tenacious adherence to what men deem the opinions and doctrines of Christ while at the same time in every day practise is exhibited anything but a likeness to Christ.”
• “I have no idea of submitting tamely to injustice inflicted either on me or on the slave. I will oppose it with all the moral powers with which I am endowed. I am no advocate of passivity.”
• “If our principles are right, why should we be cowards?”
