Re: Anyone still out there?
Sat, August 21, 2004 - 9:27 AMLooks like it's just you and me Suse. I have read a lot of biographies but the ones I have loved the most were of people that I love such as Thomas Jefferson. Although I have to admit I enjoyed reading a biography of Marlon Brando and also one on Doris Day! -

Sat, August 21, 2004 - 10:11 AMLOL! Good thing we like talking to each other!!
I have a Jefferson now, and Madison, which I plan to read next week.
I think the only *modern* biography I've read was Diana.
One ofmthe most interesting bios I ever read was about Lucretia Mott. I've been wishing I could find it again! -

Re: Anyone still out there?
Tue, August 24, 2004 - 8:16 AMShe was an amazing woman. She was born on Natucket to a Quacker family, in the 1790s. She became a very well known advocate for women's rights, as well as an astronomer, and an early abolitionist.
She traveled to London to speak about Abolition, and was at the first Women's Rights convention in Seneca Falls, NY.
She accomplished so much, especially for the limits placed on women of her time.

Tue, August 24, 2004 - 1:00 PMWow! I understand completely what you mean. The fact that she was able to accomplish so much in a time where almost everything would have been against her. -

Tue, August 24, 2004 - 1:06 PMShe was lucky to be born into a Quaker family, women had more rights, and they were a bit more liberal than most people, but even so, she did so much!!! -
