Description
Lucia True Ames, from Boscawen, New Hampshire, was born on May 5, 1856. She was an author, teacher, suffragist, and pacifist who lived in Boston during her adult years.
Lucia's "The Home in the Tenement-House," published in The New England Magazine in 1893, her books, and her public lectures attest to her talent in finding a variety of ways for spreading the word about causes she believed in. In addition, Lucia taught classes to adults on Ralph Waldo Emerson and other authors.
She was a member of several organizations, including the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, and the American Peace Society.
Lucia's personal network included Jane Addams, Anna Garlin Spencer, and Edwin Doak Mead, the editor of The New England Magazine who became her husband.
