Painting
Abigail Mott Moore (1795–1846) was an American Quaker, abolitionist, women's rights activist, and author. She was a member of the prominent Mott family of activists, which included her sister-in-law, the well-known social reformer Lucretia Mott. Known professionally as Abigail Mott, she wrote several works on education and abolitionism. She and her husband Lindley Moore became deeply involved in the anti-slavery movement, co-founding one of Rochester's first anti-slavery societies, the Rochester Anti-Slavery Society, in 1838. She died of tuberculosis on September 4, 1846, at the age of 51.
