Mott, Lucretia
Born January 3, 1793 in Nantucket, Massachusetts
[Died] November 11, 1880. Born near Abington, Pennsylvania. American social reform activist and women's rights activist. Maiden name Coffin. When she was young, she worked at an elementary school where the salary of men and women was half, which made her interested in women's rights. In 1811, she married her coworker J. Mott, and moved to Philadelphia, where the couple both joined the Society of Friends. Both joined the Anti-Slavery Society, and she was active as the women's division chief. In 1840, she and her husband attended the World Anti-Slavery Congress in London as American representatives, but were refused entry because they were women. She continued to advocate for women's rights, and in 1848, together with Mrs. E. Stanton, she organized a convention in Seneca Falls, New York, to expand women's status and rights. She continued to dedicate her life to the liberation of blacks and women, improving their status and lives, and the peace movement.

[Died] August 8, 1996. Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. British theoretical physicist. After graduating from Cambridge, he was a lecturer at Manchester University (1929), a professor at Bristol University (1933-48), and a professor at Cambridge University (1954-71). He was a member of the Royal Society (36). He initially studied nuclear physics with N. Bohr and E. Rutherford, but later shifted his focus to metals, semiconductors, photographic plates, and later electrical conduction in amorphous materials. There are formulas named after him that describe the scattering of particle beams by atomic nuclei and the transition between conductors and insulators (→Mott transition). He was knighted in 1962 and awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1977.
