Cornelia was educated in Philadelphia as were many of the Nicholsons, her mothers family.Lucretia Mott and Alice Paul are familiar names connected  to abolition and women' rights, but Cornelia did this and more. May 22 is the day to find out more about this renaissance woman, a woman truly ahead of her time.
