About This Book

Although the school Clara B. Spence founded in 1892 is well known today, her role in educating a whole generation of the daughters of America's first millionaires to become independent women who rejected social aristocracy in favor of democratic responsibility is largely unknown. Her championship of adoption and rejection of biological determinism struck at the very heart of class consciousness. An insightful biography highlighting Spence's courage in combatting social norms of the day.
