Julia Augusta Schwartz

Author of books for girls and children, 1896 Vassar graduate where she stayed on an additional year to earn an MA in English literature. Apart from six weeks of teaching at Omaha (NE) High School, where she had prepared for college, Schwartz's sole career was writing books for young people, many of which were designed for schoolroom use. One of her first books was Vassar Studies (1899), which, according to the publisher's circular, offered "a faithful impression of the spirit and the personality of modern Vassar." In 1913 Schwartz moved to La Jolla, CA, where she became interested in the conservation efforts of groups such as the Sierra Club. Her other interests, as she reported to the Vassar alumnae office in 1919, included "being a daughter, sister, aunt, neighbor, friend, voter, [and] citizen."
