Emma Hart Willard (1787-1870) was an American pioneer educator. In her time colleges and universities were for men, and women were not permitted to attend. Emma received advanced education at home from her father and became a school teacher at twenty. She continued to teacher school for several years after her marriage, then began offering college lessons in her home to women students. Later she founded a school in New York State, which was the first school for higher education in the U. S. for women. Emma Willard also tried to persuade New York state to pass a law to allow women to attend public colleges and universities, though that did not come about until after her death. Some years later people remembered her for her life-long efforts and elected her to the U. S. Hall of Fame(荣誉) in 1905.
