born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The daughter of clergyman Edward
Abbott and granddaughter of well-known children, s author Jacob
Abbott, she grew up in a religious and scholarly environment. After
studying at Radcliffe, she worked as a secretary and a teacher at
Lowell State Normal School. She began writing poems and short
