Aged 13, writing under her mother's maiden name (as Mary L. Knapp), she was one of sixteen people on the staff of ''Ladies' Home Journal'' in 1890, the first year of Edward W. Bok's long tenure as editor of the magazine. In 1896, at the age of nineteen, she married Bok, who was fourteen years her senior.〔Damon-Moore, Helen (1994) ''Magazines for the millions: gender and commerce in the Ladies' Home Journal and The Saturday Evening Post'', State University of New York Press, pp. 74, 79.〕 The couple had two sons, William Curtis Bok and Cary Curtis Bok.〔Friedrich, Otto. ''Decline and Fall''. Harper and Row, 1970, p. 126.〕 Her husband retired from the magazine in 1919, and they spent their winters in Florida, where they built the Bok Tower Gardens near Lake Wales. The marriage of Mary Louise and Edward Bok lasted 34 years until his death in 1930.
==Settlement Music School==
Mary Louise became involved with the Settlement Music School at the age of 48. At the time, the school was focused on providing musical training to young immigrants. In 1917, she made a gift to the school of $150,000 for a Settlement Music House. The music house's goal was "Americanization among the foreign population of Philadelphia." A close friend of the Bok family, pianist Josef Hofmann, played a recital at the school's dedication. Today this facility on Queen Street in Philadelphia is known as the Mary Louise Curtis Branch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of Settlement Music School )〕
