May Friend Bennett: A Memoir is a biographical book written by Marie Farnsworth Willcox. The book is a tribute to the life and work of May Friend Bennett, an influential educator and women's rights advocate in the United States during the early 20th century. The memoir chronicles Bennett's life from her childhood in rural Iowa to her rise as a prominent leader in the field of education. Bennett was known for her progressive ideas and her advocacy for women's rights, particularly in the realm of education. She was the first woman to serve as president of the National Education Association and was instrumental in the creation of the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor. The book provides a detailed account of Bennett's personal and professional life, including her relationships with her family, colleagues, and students. It also explores the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field and her efforts to promote gender equality in education. Overall, May Friend Bennett: A Memoir is a compelling and informative read that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in shaping American education and women's rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
