Hannah B. Chickering
Hannah B. Chickering (July 29, 1817 – July 3, 1879) was a prison reformer in the late 1800s, who worked to establish separate prisons for female inmates in Massachusetts and founded the ''Temporary Asylum for discharged female prisoners'' which later became known as the ''Dedham Temporary Home for Women and Children,'' which operated between 1864-1969 in Dedham, MA.〔The Chickering Foundation. Our Mission and History. 1969. Website. 2 December 2014. ==Early life==
Born on July 29, 1817, in Dedham, Massachusetts, Chickering was the youngest of seven children and the fourth daughter in her family. Although, she was raised in the Unitarian faith, she ultimately decided to become an Episcopal. She was a devoted member of her church, participated in parish work, and taught the local children during Sunday School. Chickering's faith and unyielding belief in God would provide strength throughout her life and guidance in her work.〔The Chickering Foundation〕 In 1846, around the age of 29, Chickering moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she continued her role in the church teaching Sunday School to young girls. One of her students, wrote this of a young Chickering, "Before knowing Miss Chickering I rather feared her. She seemed to me and others of our set of girls rather stern and strict. And I must confess it was with feelings of dread that we accepted her as our Sunday-school teacher. Very soon, however, this all changed, and as we knew her so we loved and respected her. If one was candid and honest with her there was nothing to fear."〔Dexter, Sarah E. Recollections of Hannah B. Chickering. Cambridge: Riverside Press, 1881. Book. pg 7-9.〕 Sometime around 1854, Chickering moved back to Dedham, Massachusetts where she spent her days caring for the ill, it was during this time when she decided that her life's work should be toward promoting the good in other people. In "Recollections of Hannah B. Chickering," Sarah E. Dexter described Chickering as a woman with "...a strong element of self-sacrifice united to the utmost fidelity to duty. Her question was always, What ought I to do?"〔Dexter, pg 5-6, 12.〕 Chickering would discover the answer a few years later while on a return visit to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to see a close friend.〔The Chickering Foundation.〕
