Анна Ли , также известная как Матушка Анна Ли , Анна Мир и Энн Элизабет Лис — британский и американский религиозный деятель, с 1772 по 1784 год — руководитель «Объединённого сообщества верующих во Второе Пришествие Христа», более известного как шейкеры. В 1774 году, спасаясь от гонений, она вместе с небольшой группой единоверцев эмигрировала из Англии и поселилась в штате Нью-Йорк. Анна Ли публично проповедовала и возглавляла религиозную организацию шейкеров в те времена, когда лишь немногие женщины были религиозными лидерами. Wikipedia
