Shaker Ann Lee on This Day in History

This Day in History: Ann Lee was born on this day in 1736. Commonly known as Mother Ann Lee, she was the founding leader of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, or as they were more famously known: The Shakers. She was also one of the very few females in history who claimed to be Jesus (Lee's followers referred to her as "Mother", believing that she was the female incarnation of Christ on Earth). The Shakers engaged in ecstatic dancing or "shaking", which resulted in their name, however, they are best known now for their furniture.

The Shakers were not allowed to engage in sex, and as a consequence there are only two members left today. Since they're not putting out the sect will probably die with them.
