Ann Lee, commonly known as Mother Ann Lee, is the founding leader of the Association of Believers in the Second Coming of Christ, or Swayers. After nearly two decades of participating in a religious movement becoming Shakers, in 1774 Ann Lee and a small group of her supporters emigrated from England to New York. After a few years, they came together in Niskayuna, renting land at Villa Rensselaerswyck in Albany County, New York. They worship while dancing or "shaking" in ecstasy, hence they have been nicknamed the Shaker. Ann Lee gave public lectures and led the Shaker Church at a time when very few women were religious leaders.
