Lee came to Philadelphia as a teenager and was changed when she heard a passionate sermon given by Richard Allen.

She married Joseph Lee in 1811, seven years since joining Mother Bethel. She soon started hearing voices telling her to "Go preach the Gospel! Preach the Gospel; I will put words in your mouth." Lee soon told Allen that God had spoken to her commanded her to preach, but Allen said that there was no provision for women preachers in the Methodist Church.
