Both she astoundingly achieved in the the mid-1800s, when women were prohibited from attending most colleges and univiersities and slavery still existed. It will whet your appetite for more about her, which you may find in My Author’s Blog: Pioneering Women of Civil War America (Twenty-First Installment) subtitled “Of the People and For the People!”
