Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Emma Hart Willard Emma Willard was an American woman's education activist who dedicated her life to education. She founded the Troy Female Seminary in Troy, New York which was renamed in her honor as the Emma Willard School in 1895. She wrote several textbooks in her lifetime including "History of the United States, or Republic of America" in 1828. Before GIS, Emma Hart Willard was mapping time and space. Her “Temple of Time” visualized history as geography—teaching students to see knowledge differently. A true cartographic pioneer who believed women deserved both education and vision. (Wikipedia)
