Anna Brackett
Anna Brackett (1836–1911) was a female philosopher known for being a translator, feminist, and an educator. She is known for being one of the most important educators among women, but her philosophical achievements are oftentimes overlooked. She translated Karl Rosenkranz's ''Pedagogics as a System'' and wrote ''The Education of American Girls'', a response to arguments against the coeducation of males and females.
==Life==
Anna Callendar Brackett was born May 21, 1836 to Samuel and Caroline Brackett and the oldest of five children. She attended a private school in Boston and then state school in Framingham, Massachusetts. In 1861, Anna started teaching in Charleston, South Carolina. At the start of the Civil War, she left for St. Louis where she met with the St. Louis Hegelians.
One of her biggest accomplishments came in 1863 when she became the principal of the St. Louis Normal School, the first female principal of a teacher's college in the United States. During her tenure, Brackett worked to ensure female students had access to higher education and liberal studies as preparation for professional teaching. She made two proposals to the Board of Education that were eventually adopted. The first proposal was an age requirement for entrance to the school. Second, there should be an entrance exam for admission to the St. Louis Normal School. In 1872 Anna Brackett resigned as principal after there were changes in the curriculum that went against her beliefs. She moved to New York City with her domestic partner, Ida Eliot. The pair adopted their first daughter, Hope, in 1873 and their second daughter, Bertha, in 1875. In New York, Brackett started The Brackett School for Girls, located at 9 West 39th Street.〔The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume 44, edited by Richard Watson Gilder, p.980〕 Among her pupils was Ruth Sawyer, in whose Newbery Award-winning semi-autobiographical children's novel, ''Roller Skates'', Brackett is remembered fondly as an imposing but beloved educator. Anna Brackett retired from teaching in 1894 and died in 1911.〔("Miss Anna C Brackett" (obituary) )〕
