Emma Willard ( née Hart; February 23, 1787 – April 15, 1870) was an American female education activist who dedicated her life to education. She worked in several schools and founded the first school for women's higher education in the United States, the Troy Female Seminary in Troy, New York.
Emma Hart was 17 years old when asked to teach the children in the village. Her students' progress was marvelous, and she received many commendations. At 19 she took over the school at a salary of $3.00 per week.
